STC’s Stankiewicz Honored with Supply Chain Leadership & Community Impact Award

Congratulations to our very own Savannah Traffic Club Board Member Bill Stankiewicz, who has been selected—on behalf of the Southeastern Chamber of Commerce—as the recipient of the 2025 Supply Chain Leadership and Community Impact Award. This well-deserved honor recognizes Bill’s remarkable reputation as “The Savannah Supply Chain Guy,” known for his precision consulting, personalized strategies, and dedication to mentoring the next generation of logistics professionals through his work at Savannah Technical College.

Bill’s leadership extends far beyond the classroom, with active roles in APICS Savannah, Coastal WorkSource, Georgia Manufacturing Alliance and several Savannah-area public school boards, all aimed at building skills, knowledge, and opportunity in our community. His professional influence is equally impressive, driven by his insights on supply chain strategy, advocacy for workplace safety, and business development.

This tremendous achievement will be celebrated in person at the Chamber’s 20th Anniversary Emerging Leaders Gala on Thursday, August 21, 2025, at Trinity Hall in Charleston, South Carolina. Congratulations to Bill on this very well-deserved recognition!
