LQ’s Final Reminder: Visit http://www.Go2LQ.com - Applications Due Date March 11th
It’s been said that in twenty years from today you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do.
This is LQ’s final invitation to logisticians and 3PLs to share the innovative ideas they took a chance on, and explored together, in LQ’s annual Sustainability Study. All submissions must be completed by next Friday, March 11th.
Briefly, LQ's Study is designed for shippers and 3PLs that have worked together on sustainability practices to create ROI, Customer relations and supply chain efficiencies. The final three pages of LQ's application, entitled ''LQ Sustainability Collaboration and Partnership Appraisal'' are dedicated to shippers and 3PLs - and should require an estimated 15-30 minutes on the part of shippers to complete.
LQ’s impartial team of evaluators, David Closs, PhD, Michigan State and Thomas Goldsby, PhD, University of Kentucky, will evaluate submissions for this study.
Thomas Goldsby, PhD, kindly noted the value of LQ’s annual Study in his opening remarks at LQ's recent Symposium: “I guarantee if you participate you will learn something and you will benefit from it. You may not be the award winner, but you will learn from it; you will learn about your organization and other companies, and so I would encourage you to participate in this program.”
LQ will honor leading 3PLs and shippers alike — who have enhanced their sustainability — by celebrating their achievements in LQ Magazine and through LQ’s Sustainability Symposiums. LQ’s Awards Committee will identify LQ’s 3PL Sustainability Award winners for 2011 as well as honorable mentions.
