Those elected to membership in to the Hall of Fame represent the highest achievement in their field, serving as models of what can be achieved and how. Each year the Institute invites the Executive Directors of its various councils and chapters globally to nominate individuals for induction into the Institute’s Hall of Fame. These nominations feed discussions about what constitutes excellence and success in individual logisticians. The goal is to improve global logistics practices by identifying the outstanding logistician in the field over the course of a lifetime.

“I am honored to receive this recognition from the Global Institute of Logistics. I would like to encourage people to work with GIL if they want to make a difference in the industry. The Institute doesn’t promote logos they only promote learning and that is highly commendable. Looking back over my career, I am very pleased with the role I’ve played in helping to advance the disciplines of logistics and supply chain management .  Along the way, I have developed and maintained many friends in the profession around the world. “Supply chain excellence is a journey and one I plan to continue exploring, discovering, creating, and assisting.”                                                                                                                                              Gene Tyndall
