Every year, Women In Trucking seeks nominations for the Distinguished Woman in Logistics Award sponsored by the Transportation Intermediaries Association and Truckstop. The award is open to high-performing women in any field related to logistics, including supply chain management, third-party logistics, and trucking.
We are proud to recognize the talents and passion of women leaders in the logistics industry, not only for their career accomplishments, but their desire to grow future leaders as well," - Jennifer Hedrick, president and CEO of Women in Trucking.
The winner will be announced during the TIA 2024 Capital Ideas Conference & Exhibition on Friday, April 12 in Phoenix, AZ.
