It is amazing how quickly time flies and equally amazing how an idea or concept from the fertile mind of an industry visionary can manifest itself in a global organization whose ultimate impact could only be imagined at the time of its birth.
My first experience with Tim Cummins and IACCM – now World Commerce & Contracting, was by way of a kind and generous comment he made not long after I launched this blog way back in 2007. In his usual matter of fact fashion Tim wrote: “It is always rewarding to talk with someone who brings insight and intelligence to the conversation; it is especially so when they can then record and comment on that conversation in a precise and highly informative fashion.”
Over the years, I have received many favorable comments of support regarding my coverage of our industry. However, besides being one of the first to offer encouragement for a nascent blog, Tim’s words stand out because he is someone for whom I have a great deal of respect. He has a genuine passion for our industry and an unwavering commitment to make a difference.
While ceding his full-time involvement to “fresher legs,” Tim oversaw an organization that grew from a “cake for one” office to “over 70,000 members across 180 countries and 20,000 organizations” worldwide. He has established a lasting legacy.
Tim, congratulations on your accomplishments over the past 22 years and your continuing success as an industry champion and thought leader.
