Leadership, advocacy, and industry engagement continued to drive CLDA forward throughout the month of May.
This month brought important opportunities for CLDA leadership to engage in conversations and initiatives that continue strengthening our association and supporting our members.
Earlier this month, our Executive Director, Michael Wright, and I participated in ASAE’s governance training alongside association leaders from a variety of industries across the country. The experience provided valuable insight into governance best practices, strategic leadership, and organizational growth.
Investing in leadership development is an important part of ensuring CLDA continues to evolve and serve our members effectively. The training reinforced the importance of thoughtful planning, strong governance, and member-focused leadership as we continue shaping the future of our association and the industry we represent. We also came away with several valuable tools and ideas that will help guide our strategic planning session with the Board later this summer.
CLDA was also well represented at Home Delivery World this month alongside Regina Robuck, our Industry Relations Representative. The conference brought together leaders from across the delivery, logistics, retail, and final mile sectors to discuss the future of our industry, including operational challenges, emerging technologies, customer expectations, and security concerns impacting carriers nationwide.
While attending the conference, I had the opportunity to moderate a panel discussion on parcel theft, one of the most pressing challenges facing carriers, retailers, and customers today. It was encouraging to hear meaningful conversations centered around collaboration, prevention strategies, and protecting the integrity of the delivery experience.
What stood out most throughout these conversations was how rapidly the delivery and final mile industry continues to evolve. From security concerns and operational challenges to innovation and customer expectations, it’s clear our industry is being asked to adapt faster than ever before.
Experiences like these help ensure CLDA remains actively engaged and continues bringing meaningful insight, advocacy, and opportunities back to our members.
Thank you for your continued support, engagement, and commitment to CLDA. I’m excited about the opportunities ahead as we continue building momentum and moving our industry forward together. Your involvement and participation continue to play an important role in the strength and success of our association.
