CSCMP's Distinguished Fellows Program

The CSCMP Distinguished Fellows Program honors a select group of academic leaders who have made outstanding, sustained contributions to the field of supply chain management through research, teaching, and service to the CSCMP community.

Launched in 2023 by CSCMP’s Academic Strategies Committee, this honorific society recognizes individuals whose work has shaped both academic thought and industry practice. Fellows also serve as a network for collaboration, mentorship, and continued dialogue within the profession.

Timing note: Fellows are selected in one year and formally recognized at CSCMP’s Academic Research Symposium (ARS) the following year. For example, members of the 2024 class were recognized at the 2025 ARS, and members of the 2025 class will be recognized at the 2026 ARS.
