At HDMA’s 2015 Business and Leadership Conference in San Antonio, the Association recognized pharmaceutical and consumer product manufacturers with its annual Distribution Industry Awards for Notable Achievements in Healthcare (or DIANA awards).
“For more than 55 years, the DIANA awards have honored pharmaceutical and consumer product manufacturers for excellence in their new product introductions, trading partner relationships and contributions to HDMA and the pharmaceutical supply chain,” said HDMA President and CEO John M. Gray. “We congratulate all of this year’s winners for their outstanding commitment to a safe and efficient supply chain.”
Presented annually since 1959, DIANA awards honor HDMA manufacturer members that develop innovative new product introductions and promotions for the healthcare distribution industry. Recipients also are recognized for advancing trade relations by fostering strong trading partner relationships with HDMA distributor members and creating exceptional business practices that benefit the entire healthcare supply chain.
Additionally, the DIANA Manufacturer Partner of the Year awards recognize HDMA manufacturer members for their active participation in the Association. Winning companies have at least five consecutive years of membership, regularly participate in HDMA conferences, serve on Association committees and show support through event attendance and sponsorships.
