Our challenge is going to be about putting it all back together (regarding the Coronavirus pandemic). We’re trying to prepare for different levels of recovery because no one really knows exactly where we’re going to land.

How to get involved

The Logistics Professionals Group meets twice a year in person, with virtual meetings and webinars as well. As with all of ABA’s Professionals Groups, attendance is not mandatory but is highly encouraged to get the most of ABA’s resources and to meet industry peers. There are no additional Membership dues to be a part of this Group–or any group–nor a need to apply to be in it. There is no limit to the number of people in the Group per ABA Member company. The more insight from our Members, the more meaningful the actions we can take together. Additionally, ABA develops its policy priorities based on member feedback, so we need your input to drive our policy decisions.
