ALAN Opens Awards Nominations

The American Logistics Aid Network (ALAN) has opened nominations for its seventh annual Humanitarian Logistics Awards.

ALAN is asking for help in identifying some of this year’s most deserving honorees.

“Many don’t realize how great a role the commercial supply chain community plays in facilitating and supporting humanitarian relief efforts,” said ALAN executive director Kathy Fulton.

“These awards were created to shine a light on that generosity and to honor our industry’s most selfless companies and individuals.

“While ALAN works closely with a lot of these organizations to aid disaster relief efforts, there are still many others that we won’t be made aware of – and able to honor – unless someone takes the time to nominate them.”

• Nominations (including self-nominations) can be made via ALAN’s website — https://www.alanaid.org/humanitarian-awards-nomination/ — between now and June 25. Winners will be announced this fall at the annual CSCMP Edge Conference.

ALAN’s Humanitarian Logistics Awards are open to any logistics professional, academic, organization or department. They are awarded in four key categories, each of which can have multiple honorees:

• Outstanding Contribution To Humanitarian Logistics
• Employee Engagement
• Research And Academic Contributions
• Lifetime Achievement
