As we head into the final quarter of 2024, I want to share some exciting developments within our association and future opportunities for your companies.
Thank you to everyone who participated in our membership survey. Your invaluable feedback helps shape our future initiatives. You expressed a strong desire for more access to industry-specific resources to help you stay competitive in the ever-evolving final mile landscape. You also want more networking and peer-to-peer opportunities to learn from each other.
The CLDA Board of Directors and team are already working hard to implement new programs and enhance existing offerings to meet those needs. At the end of September, we had the first CLDA Connect in Atlanta. This networking event brought together industry leaders, board members, local carrier companies, and drivers to meet and network, expanding their opportunities. Don’t worry if you missed it; we are planning more events like this in 2025.
To support the continuing development of your teams, we are launching a digital on-demand series later this month to provide more education tailored to foster your company’s growth. This series offers opportunities to improve your operational efficiency and increase your bottom line. As a CLDA member, you gain free access to these valuable resources.
Speaking of opportunities, our 2025 Annual Sponsorship opportunities are still available, and time is running out. These sponsorships offer year-round exposure to a highly targeted audience and will close on December 31, 2024. If you want to enhance your visibility and position your company as a leader in the final mile space, I encourage you to secure your sponsorship today.
Additionally, don’t miss out on the chance to showcase your brand at our premier event, the Final Mile Forum. Both Exhibit and Sponsorship Opportunities are available for this must-attend event with the best and brightest in our industry. Whether you want to network, generate leads, or increase your presence in the final mile sector, the Final Mile Forum is the prime platform to achieve your business goals.
As always, our mission remains steadfast. As we plan for 2025 and adjust our strategies to meet your needs, CLDA will continue to provide you with the education, advocacy, and networking necessary to succeed in the final mile logistics industry. Together, we will continue to grow and thrive in this dynamic community.
Thank you for your ongoing support and engagement, and I look forward to what’s ahead!
