Awards Honor Extraordinary Supply Chain Relief Efforts
From social media shout-outs to heartfelt thank you messages, there are many ways to honor supply chain heroes. But one of the most prestigious went live earlier today.
The American Logistics Aid Network (ALAN) has officially opened nominations for its tenth annual Humanitarian Logistics Awards.
“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.”
Presented each fall, 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 Disaster Relief
- Employee Engagement
- Research/Academic Achievement
- Lifetime Achievement
Nominations (including self-nominations) can be made via ALAN’s web site (https://www.alanaid.org/humanitarian-awards-nomination/) between now and June 30.
“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,” said Fulton. “So we encourage everyone to nominate the best examples of our industry’s service to others.”
