What difference will you make?
Humanitarian emergencies can happen anywhere, at any time, to anyone. How and how fast we respond is critical. More than ever, effective logistics management and getting the right people together at the right time makes the difference. The Humanitarian Logistics Association (HLA) is a non-profit membership organisation with a global reach. HLA’s goal is to empower logisticians to drive cross sector solutions that are locally sustainable and globally enabled to deliver aid more effectively.
Our members are drawn from across the sector – NGOs, private sector suppliers, academics and individuals working on the front line. HLA provides a platform for them to come together to share knowledge, collaborate and discuss innovative solutions which deliver aid swiftly to people, when they need it most.
In order to deliver value to our network and continue to build credibility around the world, it is essential that the HLA maintains a valuable membership structure. The Membership Coordinator will play an important role in supporting this process.
What’s in it for the volunteer?
Joining HLA will enable the volunteer to connect with a wide range of people working in humanitarian aid, private and public sectors around the world – particularly in areas that are prone to crisis. The role will be intellectually and technically challenging but will be an opportunity to learn about how to make a difference to international emergency preparedness and response from a supply chain and logistics perspective.
Arrangements to cover miscellaneous work and travel expenses will be made as necessary.
