The awards recipients will be honored at the CSCMP’s EDGE 2021 Conference in Atlanta, Georgia, this upcoming September.

CSCMP’s Emerging Leader Award recognizes supply chain leaders, 32-years-old or younger, who have made an early but significant contribution to the profession. Nominees are evaluated based on: career contributions and activities, recognition by and commitment to the supply chain profession, active involvement in CSCMP, and certifications and continuing education. 


CSCMP’s Supply Chain Innovation Award recognizes teams who have implemented an innovative solution to a significant supply chain challenge that has created a demonstrable return on investment.

All CSCMP members can submit a nomination for either award.
