Why BLFIRE19 matters
Honouring the people who keep care supplied
Bellwether League Foundation is an independent US nonprofit dedicated to educating, endowing and recognising professionals in healthcare supply chain performance excellence. Its Healthcare Supply Chain Leadership Hall of Fame, founded in 2007, honours the innovators, leaders, pioneers and visionaries who have shaped the profession. BLFIRE19 brings industry leaders, past inductees and supply chain students together for an afternoon and evening of recognition, with the Bellwether Leadership Symposium opening the programme.
Genesis is attending to celebrate the leaders who have shaped healthcare supply chain and to support the next generation entering it. The work honoured in Savannah is the same work our customers do every day on both sides of the Atlantic: getting the right product to the right patient, protecting budgets, and proving value to clinicians and finance. We're looking forward to:
- Congratulating the Bellwether Class of 2026, the Ammer Honoree Class and the Future Famers on recognition they have earned.
- Hearing the Collegiate Capstone project and the William J. McFaul Memorial Keynote on keeping the human touch in an increasingly automated world, a question that shapes how we build automation that keeps people in charge of decisions.
- Conversations with supply chain leaders, honourees and students about where the profession is headed next.
