Anish Jain, Managing Director, IBF<\/strong> (pictured right) summed it up well:
\n\u201cLarry volunteered to speak at the first IBF best practices conference back in April 1996 and has been a contributor every year, sharing his experience, driving new thought and imparting knowledge.\u00a0 He volunteers to train and enrich budding Forecasting and Planning Professionals at IBF\u2019s Tutorials, Workshops, and Academy every year since the 90\u2019s.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Larry has provided valuable input in the development of IBF\u2019s body of knowledge that drives our certification, research, and training programs.\u00a0 He has contributed over 60 articles to our Journal of Business Forecasting. He provides valuable insight and thoughts on improvement, enabling forecasting and planning professionals to succeed in this challenging environment.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Larry responded:<\/strong>
\n“I am deeply honored and humbled to receive this award. While I greatly appreciate receiving it, it would be less meaningful if the IBF hadn\u2019t evolved into what it is today — the preeminent professional forecasting and planning organization on the planet. So on behalf of the entire community I wish to thank Professor Jain and Anish for founding the IBF and for allowing me to be part of its success. And, of course, I personally thank the IBF body and both of them for this award.”
