Roger Milliken Career Achievement Award A founding member of the Foodservice GS1 US Standards Initiative and current member of the GS1 US Board of Governors, Dick Tracy has been instrumental in driving effective food traceability and data quality strategies throughout the food industry. Tracy recognized that change was necessary to curb skyrocketing and unnecessary costs due to inaccurate supply chain data. Dot Foods, under Tracy's leadership, committed to the use of GS1 Standards, specifically pioneering the use of the Global Data Synchronization Network™ (GDSN®) to enhance the consistency and completeness of data exchange across the supply chain. Tracy's strategic influence is balanced by his inclusive nature and willingness to exchange views with his peers to help make the industry more successful as a whole. "Dick's advocacy for GS1 Standards has not only yielded significant benefits within Dot Foods, but has also served as a blueprint for success for any company seeking to improve data quality and operational efficiencies," said Carpenter.
