MISSION

Since its founding in 1960, the mission of CII is to promote and support the business of  international trade and the intermodal container transportation industry. Now committed to educating the next generation of industry leaders, CII began its role as the voice of the emerging industry while training those that are today’s top-drawer people.

Connie AWARDS

The Connie Award, founded by CII in 1972, has become the most prestigious honor in the global containerization and intermodal industry to be awarded annually to people, companies, associations and other entities that have made significant contributions to the transportation modes. The Connies—short for containers-- are presented at the Connie dinner in Long Beach, California, every September and at the New York -area Connie luncheon each December. The award recipients are selected from a roster of nominees and honored at gala events whose proceeds benefit academic scholarships awarded to those who are perceived as the next generation of industry leaders.

Scholarships

Under the auspices of CII since 1992, over $1 million has been awarded to promising logistics students at universities, colleges and even at high schools.  These funds have been donated to CII’s scholarship program by companies who hire and work in the industry, individuals who recognize the value of proper education in the field, various foundations and CII.  From full four-year scholarships to those who donate just $1,000, the funds are awarded through the cooperation of select schools whose awardees may be need-based or grade-worthy. All monies donated go to the students, who receive their awards at Connie events.
