Humanitarian & Emergency Logistics Professionals (HELP) Forum
Chairman: Mike Whiting FCILT
Your Institute is introducing some changes, making us more open and relevant to you, whichever sector of logistics or transport you work in.
We are replacing the four Faculties with eight Professional Sectors. These Professional Sectors will provide specialist activity for a particular area of interest whilst continuing to offer opportunity and involvement across the profession.
What you need to do...
We are now asking all members to update their details and tell us which Professional Sectors and Forums they want to belong to as soon as possible. You can do this in a number of ways - online through ‘My Membership', complete the Member Selection form that you will shortly receive in Focus, or complete the form included on the Current Awareness Bulletin over the next few weeks.
Please note, you can now belong to as many Professional Sectors and Forums as you wish.
Should you wish to make your selections online, please remember that you will need to create your password to login if you have not already done so. A short guide to making your selection online is available here.

Humanitarian & Emergency Logistics Professionals (HELP) Forum
The Humanitarian & Emergency Logistics Professionals (HELP) is a forum within the Chartered Institute of Logistics & Transport (CILT).
We are a group of dedicated logistics and transport practitioners who want to raise the professional status and enhance the professionalism of humanitarian logistics.
HELP’s membership is drawn from the Chartered Institutes of Logistics across the world as well as over 300 other organisations, associations, businesses and centres of learning.
HELP does not run its own humanitarian programmes or provide logistics capability directly, but many of our members work as humanitarian logisticians in a wide variety of agencies.
HELP is here to:
• Support the work of all humanitarian logisticians
• Facilitate access to training and professional development
• Identify, celebrate and share best practice
• Develop standards, tools and techniques
HELP has a working group which has been developing a Humanitarian Logistics Needs Assessment Template (HELPNAT). We are working with the United Nations Logistics Cluster and a number of other leading IGOs and NGOs to determine the content and format of Logistics Capacity Assessments (LCAs) and Humanitarian Logistics Needs Assessments.
The HELPNAT working group are also looking at the tools and process needed to share and update the assessment data across multiple agencies and link into humanitarian logistics management systems such as SAHANA and HELIOS.
If you are interested in finding out more about this working group please contact Dave Luddington.
