Dear Member,
Your Institute is introducing some changes,
making us more open and relevant to you, whichever
sector of logistics or transport you work
in.
We are replacing the four Faculties
with eight Professional
Sectors. These Professional Sectors will
provide specialist activity for a particular area
of interest whilst continuing to offer opportunity
and involvement across the profession.
Each Professional Sector will provide a
clear window into the work of the Forums, National
and Regional Groups and Events, as well as other
activities of the Institute, to better support
current members and to encourage new
members.
The eight Professional Sectors
are:
Aviation
Active Travel & Travel
Planning
Bus & Coach
Freight
Forwarding
Ports Maritime
Waterways
Rail
Supply Chain
Transport
Planning
Each Professional Sector will
be seeking to appoint a senior professional as an
Ambassador to represent the Sector and a Champion
to encourage the work of the
Forums.
What you need to
do...
We are now asking all
members to update their details and tell us which
Professional Sectors and Forums they want to
belong to as soon as possible. You can do this in
a number of ways – online through ‘My
Membership’, complete the Member Selection
form that you will shortly receive in
Focus, or complete the form included on
the Current Awareness Bulletin over the next few
weeks.
Please note, you can now belong to as
many Professional Sectors and Forums as you
wish.
Should you wish to make your
selections online, please remember that you will
need to create your password to login if you have
not already done so. A short guide to making your
selection online is available here.
The
introduction of the new Professional Sectors
provides an opportunity for everyone in our
profession to find their home in our Institute and
it will enable us to target our services to suit
your needs whilst maximising the benefits
that we can bring to all members.
Should
you have any questions please do not hesitate to
contact the Membership
Services team.
