Industry News and AdvocacyPolitics are everywhere, especially with a little more than 420 days left until the presidential election in 2020. The news cycle is constantly talking about this race and who will be the Democratic challenger to President Donald Trump. Will it be Vice President Joe Biden? Senator Bernie Sanders? Senator Elizabeth Warren? Could it be someone else in the large pool of candidates running to become the 46th President? It doesn’t matter if you watch Fox News, CNN or MSNBC, politics dominate the news cycle, and it is not going away, especially during this ultra-partisan period of our history. In an hour, my wife and I are headed to a nearby town to do a collection of shopping chores and completing the “final-miles” portion of several supply chains: milk, paint, garden watering equipment. Even today, with the explosion of internet-based supply chains, more than 85% of goods reach consumers this way. Anybody deliver your gasoline recently? Of course not; you go to the pump yourself. The gasoline supplier fills the convenience store tanks from a 53-foot tanker; then you move your 15 gallons across the final miles to your garage. TIA is seeking young professionals to join our Young Executives Committee. Historically, the Young Executives Committee exclusively held an annual lunch event at the April Conference, and no formal activities ensued until the next year. But with the increasing number of young professionals joining the 3PL industry, the moment is ripe to formalize the committee and provide our members with a platform for networking and information sharing with the next generation of leaders within TIA. TIA has partnered with the Addiction Policy Forum, a national nonprofit, to address substance use disorders in the workplace. The partnership will allow you and your employees a confidential, app-based counseling service – free of charge. We are passionate about beginning work on this initiative to help our members help employees in need.  Exhibit booth reservation requests for the 2020 TIA Capital Ideas and Exhibition can be made here. If you have questions, contact meetings@tianet.org.
