“What a true testimony of a seed yielding multiple harvests! This all started as a simple discussion way back early 2007 after a Supply Chain Management Course in South Africa…the facilitators and participants wondered why an association could not be established to keep logisticians networked and abreast of trends….today it is in nations across the world and improving professionals in their fields!
Congratulations especially to those that held the fort, believed in the cause and are now having the pleasure of 2000 members. I see us reaching 100,000 members by year 2020! Yes, we can!” (Anne Ikwang, Nigeria)
