The Logistics & Supply Chain Management Society Awards - 2006

SINGAPORE, 12 OCTOBER, 2006: The Logistics & Supply Chain Management Society is at the forefront of facilitating professional development opportunities and recognition for Logistics professionals. Innovation in Logistics strategy and technology is driving dramatic change right across the supply chain. Over the past few years, there have been more advances in the industry than at any time in history – and there’s no sign of a change any time soon.

The awards, which are given on a regional basis with Logisticians throughout Asia and the (Middle East), give other Societies, Associations and organisations an opportunity to collaborate in a wider programme of industry and professional development.

Unlike other awards, this programme is an opportunity for outstanding individuals to be recognised for their Supply Chain Management contributions and achievements in the Logistics profession.

Aside from this, finalists, highly commended nominees and winners will be able to use the Logistics & Supply Chain Management Society Awards logo as a reference of achievement on business cards and other self-promoting literature. Applicants will be joining a prestigious group of leading professionals, all working to succeed in an ever-competitive global market.

Organisations also have the opportunity to sponsor an award category. This is an excellent opportunity for them to demonstrate to industry the importance and emphasis they place on people development.

- Distinction Award
