Jeff, on receiving this honor:
"I’m seldom at a loss for words, but learning I had won the IBF Excellence in Business Forecasting & Planning Award was one of those times. My first IBF event was in Chicago in ’98 - most of the vendor trinkets were from companies which no longer exist, but the IBF endures. It’s a testament to vision and dedication of Dr. Jain, Anish, and staff that the IBF continues to create a meaningful impact on the business forecasting and planning field. Coming from a family of educators, the Learn-Share-Advance mission resonates deeply with me. I’m appreciative of the opportunities to Share with the forecasting and planning community, whether it’s through creating and delivering training, or speaking at conferences. The Share aspect has been one of the most rewarding aspects of my career, and being recognized for helping to Advance the field is humbling. I am truly honored to be a part of the IBF story, and appreciative of those whom I’ve meet on the journey."
