Hall of fame for healthcare supply chain leadership seeks “Future Famers”

Bellwether League Inc. has recognized and honored innovators, leaders and pioneers within five segments of the healthcare supply chain industry: Providers, Suppliers, Group Purchasing Organizations, Consultants and Education and Media. Honorees within each Bellwether Class dedicated decades of their careers and lives not only to the profession but to the business and health of the healthcare industry in general.

With “Future Famers,” Bellwether League Inc. extends its reach to the other end of the career spectrum – those in the early stages of their healthcare supply chain career or those with non-healthcare supply chain experience that may be new to healthcare but are contributing to the industry in a significant way or are otherwise making a difference through innovative achievements, leadership potential and pioneering work.

Bellwether League Inc.’s Future Famers award strives to recognize and honor:

• Professionals who do not yet qualify for Bellwether consideration, but have contributed to the supply chain profession in a meaningful way.
• Future industry leaders to encourage ongoing innovation and progress as they may seek Bellwether status later in their careers.
• The various projects implemented by these rising stars that advance the healthcare supply chain – and healthcare industry as a whole – every day.

Professionals selected as Future Famers will receive a formal certificate and an invitation to Bellwether League Inc.’s annual Healthcare Supply Chain Leadership Forum and Bellwether Induction Dinner events in the fall.

Bellwether League Inc. plans to select Future Famers during the 4th quarter of each year and announce each Future Famer class during the 1st quarter of the following year via Bellwether League Inc.’s Web site and media coverage.
