The American Logistics Aid Network (ALAN) has opened nominations for its 10th annual Humanitarian Logistics Awards, and will collect entries until June 30.
Presented each fall, ALAN’s Humanitarian Logistics Awards are open to any logistics professional, academic, organization or department. They are awarded in four categories, each of which can have multiple honorees:
- Outstanding Contribution To Disaster Relief
- Employee Engagement
- Research/Academic Achievement
- Lifetime Achievement
“Our industry is full of selfless people who go above and beyond to help before, during and after disasters – and thankfully so, because humanitarian relief couldn’t happen without the facilitation and support of the supply chain community,” said ALAN Executive Director Kathy Fulton. “These awards were created to shine a light on that generosity.”
“While we at ALAN know what many organizations and individuals are doing to support disaster relief, there are many others whose life-changing work we won’t be aware of – or be able to honor – unless someone lets us know about them. So we encourage everyone to nominate the best examples of our industry’s service to others,” Fulton said.
