The Marvin L. Manheim Award has
been presented annually since 2002 by the Workflow Management
Coalition to recognize an individual or a group for their
influence, contribution, or distinguished use of workflow
systems.
The award is named in honor of the
late Professor Marvin L. Manheim, co-founder of the Black
Forest Group and also co-founder of the WfMC. Professor
Manheim was the William A. Patterson Distinguished Professor
of Transportation at the Kellogg Graduate School of Management
at Northwestern University from 1983 until his death in
August 2000.
Any person, or group of persons
who has made a significant contribution in the field of
workflow, may be nominated and considered for the Manheim
award. Individuals will be given first consideration for
the Award, because teams, products and projects are eligible
for the Global Excellence In BPM & Workflow Awards (also
co-sponsored by WfMC).
Neither the person being nominated,
nor the nominator, is required to be a member of the Coalition
- the Award is open to all eligible individuals or groups.
Nominations should be sent to the Secretariat of the Workflow
Management Coalition. The nomination should include:
- A brief summary of why this person
is being nominated
- A description of the contribution
of the nominee
- Supporting documentation, if the work of
the individual is not widely known.
- Supporting nominations, if desired,
from additional practitioners in the field.
