Nominations for the Greer and Emeritus awards will be accepted until February 5, 2010.  Nominations should be sent to Sam Campagna at scampagna@ndia.org and must contain the individual’s accomplishments and rationale for the nomination.

The Edward M. Greer Award
The Greer Award is presented annually to an industry individual in recognition of noteworthy contributions or meritorious service to the Department of Defense in the area of integrated logistics support engineering and its implementation in maintenance and product support.  The award was established in 1956 by Greer Hydraulics, Inc., to stimulate thought and develop programs which will benefit industry and the public.  The award program encourages solutions to troublesome maintenance problems or to the development of integrated logistics support planning techniques to be employed in their solution.  The award is presented in honor of its originator, Edward M. Greer.

The Logistician Emeritus Award
The Logistician Emeritus Award is presented to an individual who has demonstrated outstanding competence and has made a substantial contribution in the field of national security logistics while serving in a governmental position.  The award was established by the Logistics Management Division in 1980 as a means of recognizing deserving individuals.
