WELCOME TO HLA!
Humanitarian Logistics Association (HLA) is an individual membership association for humanitarian logistics professionals committed to increase humanitarian logistics effectiveness.
LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

"Welcome to the HLA website! It is great a pleasure for me to see the progress that has been made in recent years to professionalize Humanitarian Logistics. But there is much, much more to do. I have been involved for most of my career in humanitarian logistics, a sector which is often under-valued within the Aid community. The HLA aims to change that perception and so your membership and active participation is extremely important to enable us to develop the Association to support you..."

Chairman
RED DOT VOLUNTEERING SCHEME
The “Red Dot” concept was developed at the Humanitarian Logistics Association (HLA) Annual Conference 2010 in Paris. The main objective is to develop a network of volunteering members of the HLA that will actively promote the mission and the objectives of the HLA.

HLA IS SUPPORTED BY THE CHARTERED INSTITUTE OF LOGISTICS AND TRANSPORT
Following initial support for the HLA from the Fritz Institute in the United States, The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport in the UK (CILT) is providing the association with a temporary home. This will enable HLA to create procedures, standards and processes, grow its membership, and thrive in the future. CILT chief executive Steve Agg said ‘I am delighted with this new partnership. HLA will be given all the support required to set up and grow as a body. We have had an excellent working relationship with the Fritz Institute and are pleased that this link with the humanitarian logistics sector will be strengthened by these new arrangements.’
