Anthony M. Leo WFLO Scholarship for the 2021 WFLO Institutes
This year, the Global Cold Chain Alliance (GCCA) and RLS Logistics are honored to announce the creation of the Anthony M. Leo WFLO Scholarship, designed to support third-party cold chain logistics industry employees to attend the WFLO Institute for the three year duration of the program. Through the Anthony M. Leo WFLO Scholarship, one individual will be selected in year one with RLS Logistics contributing funds to allow a second scholarship.
Before his passing in March 2021, Tony was a highly engaged member of the association serving as Treasurer of the IARW Board of Directors, participating on numerous committees, and presenting at events. He was a member of GCCA’s original Leadership Forum share group and always eager to share knowledge and bring challenges and solutions to the group for discussion. Tony gave his time, experience, and perspective for the betterment of his colleagues and the industry as a whole. He was also a passionate advocate for training and educating the next generation of future cold chain leaders.
- Send one of your company’s up-and-coming leaders to the WFLO Institutes and further their education of the industry and your business by nominating them for the Anthony M. Leo WFLO Scholarship.
- The Anthony M. Leo WFLO Scholarship Fund was created to provide a scholarship to a third-party cold chain logistics industry employee to attend the WFLO Institute for each of the three years of the program. Help support the scholarship program by making a donation.
