NJ (April 14, 2011)- With a successful first ever Connie Award
event in Chicago in early April, Containerization & Intermodal
Institute (CII) is seeking nominations for the prestigious annual Connie

Named for the container, the
Connie Award has been presented every year since 1972, to those who have
made outstanding contributions to the containerization and intermodal
industry, including those involved with rail, ports, importers and
exporters, third party logistics providers, technology, government
officials and the media.
 
"The prestigious Connie Awards
draw attendees from across the nation. We're seeking nominations
nationwide for all facets involved in trade," said Allen Clifford, CII
President. 
 
This year's remaining events will
take place on September 21, 2011, in Long Beach, CA, and December 5, 2011,
in Newark, NJ. All nominations for Long Beach must be received by May 6,
2011, and for Newark by July 30, 2011.
