NEW YORK--(Business Wire)-- ProcureStaff, a leading services procurement organization, is pleased to announce that two of its executives are among the finalists for the 2008 Women's Business Awards. Co-founder and Executive Vice President Janet Whitcomb is a finalist in the Lifetime Achievement category for her decades of leadership, innovation and impact on the field of human capital supply chain management. Julie Smith, Head of ProcureStaff Managed Services Programs in EMEA, is a finalist in the category of "Best Executive EMEA." Both Ms. Whitcomb and Ms. Smith were also named "Pros to Know" by Supply and Demand Chain Executive magazine (Smith for 2008 and Whitcomb for 2007). Larry Kaylor, President of ProcureStaff, said, "Janet's contribution to the development of the industry's first Vendor Management System (VMS) application in the 1990s is indicative of her foresight and dedication to the field of human capital supply chain procurement and certainly qualifies her for a lifetime achievement award. The work she has done subsequently has helped propel ProcureStaff and the entire services procurement industry well into the 21st Century." Kaylor also lauded Ms. Smith's accomplishment, saying, "Julie's contributions in Europe, Middle East and Africa reflect the breadth of her experience in managing global programs across vast geographies and in numerous cultural and legislative environments." Winners will be announced at the awards presentation dinner November 14, 2008 at the Marriott Marquis in New York City.
