Careers in Supply Chain, Operations and Logistics -- Associations
This page contains links to key supply chain, operations, and logistics industry associations. Turn to associations for:

- Industry trends and outlook
- Certifications
- Networking opportunities
- Links to related resources
Many associations have lots of "free" (e.g. non-member) information posted on their web sites; many do not. DO NOT STOP with what you find on the free web. CALL and speak with someone on the staff. Associations are a wealth of information and most are willing to spend a few minutes talking with you. Remember, you are a prospective member.
- NOTE: Associations generally will not provide company-specific information (other then, perhaps to other members) since this information is considered proprietary
