Now in its second decade, the award honors women whose work drives growth, strengthens supply chains, and shapes the future of logistics, including roles in freight brokerage, third-party logistics, and supply chain operations. The recognition also emphasizes mentorship, advocacy, and community engagement that encourage more women to pursue and advance in logistics careers.
