Biographical Note

Concurrent with serving as executive director of the Supply-Chain Council, he is CEO of his own association management firm: Hakanson & Company, Inc.

Scope and Content

The Bill Hakanson Collection consists of two series: artifacts and papers (some photos). The collection’s special strength is the various pieces of memorabilia collected by Mr. Hakanson over the years. They are some of the only known items in existence.

The series' original order has been maintained where applicable and re-created in others to assist researchers more easily. Items housed in acidic or metal housings have been removed from these housings for preservation reasons and have been placed in acid free folders and containers. Photographs have been placed in acid free folders and envelopes, and were left within original series. All metal fasteners have been removed and replaced in accordance with accepted archival standards of preservation.

Series 2: Papers, 1985-1993, 1 linear inch. This series contains the personal writings of Mr. Hakanson as well as some photos.
