ALAN opens up its nominations for 2024 Humanitarian Logistics Awards

The American Logistics Aid Network (ALAN) has officially opened nominations for its eighth annual Humanitarian Logistics Awards, and it’s asking for your help in identifying some of this year’s most deserving honorees.

“There’s a lot of amazing work that the commercial supply chain community does to facilitate humanitarian relief efforts. But all too often, it goes unrecognized,” said ALAN Executive Director Kathy Fulton. “Our awards were created to spotlight the industry’s generosity and to honor its most compassionate companies and individuals. While ALAN works closely with a lot of these organizations to aid disaster relief efforts, there are still many deserving honorees 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 ([url=https://www.alanaid.org/humanitarian-awards-nomination/]https://www.alanaid.org/humanitarian-awards-nomination/[/url]) between now and June 28th. 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; and
• Lifetime Achievement
