In an industry first, ThomasNet and ISM launched the program to spotlight supply chain's young "rock stars" and encourage them to build lifetime careers in the profession.

The recognition program rewards those young supply chain professionals who have already distinguished themselves through their innovation, collaboration and leadership, helping their organizations and the industry at large. Each of these young luminaries will receive complimentary membership in ISM for one year. One “megawatt” professional from the group, along with their nominator will receive an all-expense paid trip to ISM2015 scheduled for May 3-6 in Phoenix, Ariz.

Individuals can nominate professionals from the U.S. and Canada by clicking here. Self-nominations are also encouraged. All nominees must be thirty or younger as of December 31, 2014.
