Conference History
The
Voorhees Supply Chain Conference was
established by alumni and friends of Iowa State
University to honor the career of Professor
Emeritus R. Dale Voorhees.
Professor Voorhees was an Iowa State teacher and
researcher for twenty years. His research
results were published in the leading
transportation and logistics journals. As a
teacher, Voorhees displayed an uncommon talent
for integrating theory with practice. Industry
practitioners were frequent visitors to his
class, sharing their experiences, knowledge, and
insights with his students.
Prior to joining the faculty at Iowa State,
Voorhees served six years in logistics systems
management on the staff of the U.S. Secretary of
Defense and previous to that that was in other key
managerial positions in the Department of
Defense and the Air Force. He served thirty
years in the U.S. Air Force and holds the rank
of Colonel (retired).
The Voorhees Business Conference began as a
supply chain executive-in-residence program,
with distinguished leaders in the supply chain
field visiting the College of Business to
interact with students, faculty, and making a
presentation to the university community. For
its tenth anniversary in 2002, the program was
expanded to a full conference. This format
continues today.
