Nominations can be made by any individual or by an organization familiar with the nominee and her work in the field of logistics. Employees of the sponsoring organization or of Women In Trucking and the award selection committees are excluded as nominators and/or as candidates for any award under their purview.
Industry participation that would qualify a potential candidate for consideration for this award broadly encompasses high-performing women in the third-party logistics and supply chain management fields, as well as trucking operations in North America.
In general, all award nominations should include a statement supporting the individual’s qualifications in the field of logistics as well as evidence of accomplishments and supporting letters of recommendation. Briefly describe the individual’s role today and past career history, or provide a resume or CV.
Nominations should not include excessive documentation. Clear, concise statements of achievements are of value. Information from public sources such as Who's Who or industry publications is helpful, but should be supplemented by information about specific contributions.
All award nominations must be received by Women In Trucking or the award sponsoring company no later than February 3, 2020.
The Distinguished Woman in Logistics award has been launched as an annual recognition program by Women In Trucking. Once an individual has been selected as a winner of the DWLA, she can be renominated for two consecutive years after the initial nomination and then again after a one-year waiting period. To renominate, send a renomination letter along with any updated information to be included with the nomination.
What Happens After You Submit an Award Nomination?
After the awards nomination deadline, nominations are submitted to the award selection committee established for review that year. After finalist candidates have been selected by the committee, final approval for the winning candidate will be voted on by the awards committee and Women In Trucking executives. The finalist candidates will be notified by WIT and publicized to industry and trade media. The winning candidate will be announced at the award presentation.
All award presentations will be scheduled to take place at and during a significant industry conference with national visibility with logistics industry education and networking content, in order to facilitate approval for travel and participation by the winner in the award ceremony. Upon notification of selection, the finalist must notify WIT if they plan to attend the designated conference.
