nomination committee meets at the BMVI
The finalists for election to the Logistics Hall of Fame 2015 have now been decided.
At a meeting of the nomination committee last Tuesday at the Federal Transport Ministry, the committee nominated ten individuals from Germany, Finland, France, Austria, Switzerland and the USA out of a total of 31 proposals. Only the jury has access to the list of candidates, and this list serves as a recommendation to the 46 experts from all fields of logistics who will elect the new member of the Logistics Hall of Fame in the summer.
In October 2015, the Logistics Hall of Fame will announce the name of the leading figure who is to be inducted into the logistics pantheon. The official induction ceremony traditionally takes place during a reception at the Federal Transport Ministry.
