OUR FIRST AUTHORITY FIGURE
Sarah
Barnes-Humphrey
Founder & host, Let’s Talk Supply Chain
From working in freight to creating a place for the industry’s conversations.
Sarah’s professional story spans freight operations, sales and marketing, podcasting, and community building. We’re starting the SCAC pilot with the work she already has, not asking her to manufacture authority.
THE WORK BEHIND THE PROFILE
A career. A voice.
A community.
Start with the original sources.
Then ask what each one demonstrates.
01 · EXPERIENCELearning the industry from the inside
Sarah describes starting in her family’s freight business, working in operations, and moving into sales and marketing in her career account.
For assessment: confirm the responsibilities, timeline, and supporting records. Her own account is a starting source, not an independent verification receipt.
02 · INDUSTRY VOICELet’s Talk Supply Chain
The LTSC about page identifies Sarah as its founder and describes its podcasts, live shows, blogs, and industry conversations.
For assessment: select specific conversations and contributions that show her own expertise. Hosting volume, audience size, and a company’s reach do not automatically become authority points.
03 · COMMUNITYMaking room for more voices
Her professional site describes founding the Secret Society of Supply Chain and Blended Pledge, an initiative supporting underrepresented voices.
For assessment: identify specific work and outcomes. No private community discussions have been accessed, and membership access is not permission to review someone else’s contributions.
04 · CONTRIBUTIONA perspective beyond her own platform
Her Forbes Councils profile lists an expert-panel contribution about women leaders building networks and support systems.
For assessment: review the specific contribution and what it demonstrates. A contributor profile is not an independent endorsement, a verified SCAC score, or a Forbes affiliation for SCAC.
ONE PERSON. ONE COMPLETE JOURNEY.

THE SAME STANDARD FOR EVERYONE
First does not mean
a different bar.
Sarah is the first authority figure we’re building around. That does not pre-approve her assessment or give her a special scoring rule.
Full Secret Society access belongs to full Thought Leader Membership. Enterprise-included profiles and assessments do not include it. Membership benefits and authority scoring stay separate.
This page uses public professional information only. There is no live account, saved intake, background monitoring, completed assessment, or public-consent action here.
