LQ's Executive Exchange Invitation: www.LQsummit.com

You’re Invited to LQ’s June 9th, 2011, Symposium: http://www.LQsummit.com

LQ has begun to measure companies' good deeds, and celebrate their achievements, based on LQ's inaugural annual Third-Party Sustainability Study and Awards Program 2011.

You are invited to join LQ's top firms, and distinguished circle of leading thinkers and practitioners - the Finalists of LQ's Study and Awards Program – who will be presenting on best practices in Sustainability in the Supply Chain, June 9th, at the Toronto Board of Trade Country Club.

LQ will be recognizing one firm and its client with LQ’s Excellence in Sustainability Award, and celebrating the achievements of three Finalists on this exciting day, based on the quality of these firms' achievements.

LQ’s Sustainability Study and Awards Program is designed to enable 3PLs as well as their clients to enhance their sustainability awareness. LQ’s impartial team of evaluators, David Closs, PhD, Michigan State and Thomas Goldsby, PhD, University of Kentucky, will share their insights on the overall landscape of sustainability based on the information LQ has garnered in its inaugural annual sustainability study.

LQ’s Symposium offers a superb context to take a fresh look at new ways to make our business practices more effective. Today, perspectives on sustainability practices are quickly changing discussions in boardrooms, classrooms and executive mind-sets.

As seating is limited to 100 executives, I invite you to register today at: http://www.LQsummit.com

Some of the executives and academics who will guide our discussions on this exciting day include:

• Steve Raetz, Director of Logistics Solutions, C.H. Robinson Worldwide, Inc.
