New York, NY. November 14th– The 8th Annual Defense Logistics Awards nominees are in and the finalists from each category have been selected by the panel of judges.
”We wish we could make everyone a finalist,” said Amol Tembe, program manager for the Defense Logistics Awards. “Every submission deserves recognition, and though all submissions were very competitive, sadly we must limit the field for the finalists round.
