Who do you know?

It's a big world out there. But fortunately, the Council of Logistics Management has put together a directory of more than 80 associations that can help logistics management personnel get their jobs done. Listings range from the Maria Association in Russia to the Thai Logistics and Production Society and the Food Marketing Institute in the U.S.

Obtain information on the association's specific services or professional functions. In addition, each listing outlines the objectives of the organization, shows the current level of dues, gives the number of members, and provides the name and address of the chief elected and chief operating officers.

The directory appears in the Spring issue of the Council of Logistics Management's Logistics Comment newsletter.
