The Council of Logistics Management (CLM) announces the publishing of its 2003 Annual Conference Proceedings-a collection of papers based on presentations made during its annual conference in Chicago, Illinois. Over 3,100 logistics executives worldwide participated in the 3½-day event held September 21- 24, 2003. Of these executives, over 400 served as speakers or session leaders in the program. Topics in this edition of the Annual Conference Proceedings cover a wide variety of relevant research reports, statistics, debates, opinions, and dialogue of interest to those working in the logistics profession.

An annual highlight of the Proceedings is "The Ohio State University's 2003 Survey of Career Patterns in Logistics," conducted by James L. Ginter, Dean's Distinguished Professor, and Bernard J. La Londe, Professor Emeritus of Transportation and Logistics, both of The Ohio State University. This study provides current information about the "typical" chief logistics executive's age, education, salary, mobility, responsibility, staff size, budget, and positioning within the operation. Another annual feature is a compilation of industry statistics entitled Logistics Cost and Service 2003 by Herbert W. Davis and William H. Drumm.
