OVERVIEW

On December 1, 2023, the Government of Canada announced the launch of the National Supply Chain Office, a government agency that will work to ensure supply chains are resilient and competitive. Supply Chain Canada is a proud participant of the task force that made these recommendations to the government. It is vital for our voice to be heard at the national level, advocating for the best interests of our members and regions.

Join us for an interactive webinar as we summarize where we’re at and explore the big-picture issues that are shaping our advocacy work in the coming years. As your national association, we understand the importance of advocating for our members to all levels of government and industry. This webinar is designed to not only inform but also to actively engage our members in shaping our advocacy priorities for the next three to five years.

The supply chain sector is a cornerstone of the global economy, yet it faces unprecedented challenges and opportunities. From navigating complex regulatory environments to advocating for sustainable and efficient supply chains, the role of our association is increasingly vital. 

This interactive webinar will explore the essential function of advocacy in:

  • promoting industry standards
  • advancing the profession
  • enhancing professional recognition

We will share past efforts and explore how our collective efforts can lead to meaningful impact, including influencing policy decisions, driving innovation, and fostering a more supportive environment for supply chain professionals.
KEY OUTCOMES
