Presented annually by the Workflow Management Coalition 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.
