At the Council’s Annual Meeting held in Edinburgh, Scotland in October 1976, the President of The Association of British Investigators at the time, Zena Scott Archer, personally delivered a silver loving cup to the Council with the request by the A.B.I. that it be presented each year to a Council member who best exemplifies the high professional and moral standards of the Council.

Each year at the Annual General Meeting, a Certified Member of the Council of International Investigators is honored as the “International Investigator of the Year”. Nominations may be made by any person during the year and election is by a majority vote taken during the annual general meeting, after the reading of the nominations and supporting documentation.

Since the recipient must surrender the trophy at the end of a year, another award was initiated to remain the personal possession of each annual recipient. This award is known as the “Keith Rogers Memorial Plaque”. It honors one of the respected original founders of our Council, Keith M. Rogers, now deceased.

The Council will be forever grateful to The Association of British Investigators for what has become an extremely proud tradition in our Council.
