Sharing ideas
The Nebraska Logistics Council’s mission is to give members new ideas and opportunities to grow in the logistics field. Members have the opportunity to network and exchange ideas in a relaxed atmosphere with others who face the same challenges and goals. Our members include corporate officers from Fortune 500 companies, officers from major Nebraska companies, one person organizations, account executives and logistic support staff. The Nebraska Logistics Council programs will present leading transportation entrepreneurs, corporate logistic officers, panel discussions and tours. We plan to offer sessions in management development and thoughts from leading area business and logistic experts. In short, we strive to help the logistic manager excel in their position.

We’re all in this together
A recent study from the Nebraska Department of Economic Development revealed that Nebraska’s geographic center in the U.S. gives it a great advantage for transportation, warehousing, logistics and distribution projects across the world. Regardless if your primary interest is rail, trucking, air, shipping or warehousing, we all face many of the same difficulties. Joining the Nebraska Logistics Council is your invitation to grow and learn with others in logistics to share solutions and create opportunities.

The Council’s Purpose:

  • to promote greater knowledge of logistics among its members by holding informational discussions
  • to foster and promote cooperation among its members and exchange information, experience and ideas
  • to foster education and practical logistical systems to the shipping public
  • to develop an appreciation of the logistics profession as a motivating factor in industry for Nebraska
  • to teach and encourage “best practices” in logistics management
  • to develop educational tools for state agencies and lobbyists to encourage more interest into logistics-related jobs in Nebraska
  • to form a professional, educational and informational council to benefit shippers, receivers, carriers, forwarders, warehousers and state economic development agencies
