Logistics Hall of Fame: proposal phase begins
- Who achieved great things in logistics and has earned a place in the Logistics Hall of Fame?
- Logisticians around the world are called upon to propose suitable candidates up to May 8 at www.logisticshalloffame.net.
Ismaning near Munich, March 16, 2017. The Logistics Hall of Fame proposal portal has opened. Anyone can now be proposed or submit applications from around the world for induction into the international logistics pantheon.
The achievements may be of a technical, strategic, scientific, business management or entrepreneurial nature. The decisive factor is that these achievements not only benefited an individual company but had a positive impact on the entire logistics sector. Furthermore, these achievements must already be in the past; theoretical concepts are not sufficient. Groups may also apply or be proposed for induction.
In the first selection round up to ten finalists will be nominated from all the proposals, from among the international expert jury will choose one new member. The members of the nomination committee are:
- Dorothee Bär, State Secretary at the Federal Minister of Transport and Digital Infrastructure Logistics Coordinator of the Federal Government of Germany
- Robert Cameron, Head of Logistics Department of the Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA)
- Prof. Dr. Michael ten Hompel, Managing Director of the Fraunhofer IML and member of the Logistics Hall of Fame
- Matthias Rathmann, Editor-in-Chief of the German Logistics newspaper trans aktuell
- Sascha Schmel, Managing Director of the VDMA Materials Handling and Intralogistics Sector Association
- Adalbert Wandt, President of the German Association of Road Haulage, Logistics and Disposal (BGL)
- Anita Würmser, Executive Chairperson of the Logistics Hall of Fame jury
Proposals and applications are free of charge and can be submitted in English or German language and only on the Internet at www.logisticshalloffame.net. The public proposal phase ends on May 8, 2017. The newly elected member will be inducted at the annual Logistics Hall of Fame Gala in November at the Federal Ministry of Transport in Berlin, Germany.
