There can only be one International Tabler of the Year amongst a plethora of worthy other candidates. It is impossible to honor and thank all those members going above and beyond in their service to their fellow man or Round Table.
This shortcoming of a lack of awards and our need to thank these extraordinary individuals led to the creation of the RTI Honor medal.
This medal is handed out for extraordinary efforts on behalf of an individual who has had a profound impact not only on their local community but also on the larger Round Table fraternity. There are a limited amount of medals available every year. Most years, the total amount has not been handed out.

Per the RTI Officers’ Handbook, the rules regarding these medals are as follows:
-
- Honor medals are a limited number of medals under the control and purview of the RTI President.
- The RTI President may allocate certain of these medals to RTI Board Members, but in all instances, must give final approval on who this is given to.
- All recipients of these honor medals must be listed on the RTI Honor role.
In practice, anyone nominated by a board member gets discussed internally by the board to determine if the achievement warrants this level of recognition. This unbiased process ensures that only the most worthy candidates receive these medals.
Receiving this medal is a tremendous honor. It is the physical manifestation of the impact that you have made, both locally and abroad, and should always be worn as a source of pride for many years.
A full list of recipients is available🔗 on Tabler.World.
