Supply chain emergency assistance provider American Logistics Assistance Network (ALAN) is calling for nominations for its annual Humanitarian Logistics Awards.

Created in 2017, the awards recognise individuals and organisations that have demonstrated an ongoing and sustained commitment to helping others in their time of greatest need.

“If you know of a particularly deserving recipient for this year’s awards, please consider nominating them by filling out one or more of the specific award nomination forms,” says the association.

Awards will be announced in four categories:

·     Outstanding contribution to disaster relief  

·     Employee engagement award

·     Research/academic achievement award

·     Lifetime achievement award

The awards are open to businesses of all sizes as well as individuals. Organisations and individuals do not need to have a prior relationship with ALAN to be eligible. 

Any entity may nominate itself or be nominated by a third party. Those nominating another individual or business should ensure the nominee is aware and is willing and prepared to participate in awards activities. 

Eligible entities can be nominated for more than one category, but separate applications should be submitted for each category. 

Companies or individuals may be nominated in multiple categories, but can only be named as a finalist in one category.

Past recipients are not eligible to apply for three years in the category for which they received recognition.
