CALL FOR ENTRIES - International Young Achiever of the Year 2012 Posted: Monday, 23^rd January 2012

CILT INTERNATIONAL YOUNG ACHIEVER OF THE YEAR 2012

The CILT International Young Achievers Award recognises outstanding contribution and achievement by young men and women — under 35 Years, who work in our profession.

The CILT International President is seeking nominations to the CILT International Young Achievers Award to be presented at the CILT International Convention President's Dinner on Tuesday 12th of June 2012 in Birmingham, England. The recipient of the CILT International Young Achiever Award is also provided with a bursary of £2,000 to enable them to undertake further research and/or travel on a transport or logistics project.

Many of our young members have already achieved a great deal in their profession. In 2011 we received nominations from many Branches. They included professionals working in passenger & freight transport, logistics & supply chain, humanitarian logistics, government and academia. The nominees led significant projects to improve customer service, business success, professional development, education and improve the environment and safety. In their busy careers they found time to be active contributors to the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport, particularly in the mentoring and support of other Young Members.

Remarkably they also committed to their own continued professional development by learning new skills and building their competencies, teaching and developing others in the process. The CILT is immensely proud to have these young achievers active in our Councils. They are an inspiration to all members and we are confident they will be amongst the leaders in their profession, countries and CILT Councils.

The Award will be made to a young person who can show they have made a significant contribution in their role working in logistics &/or transport.
•    He or she should demonstrate they have made tangible benefits to their organisation significantly beyond that which might have been expected. Their entry can be supported by references from employers, employees as well as clients & customers. In making the award the judges will take into account original and innovative thinking as well as leadership & ownership of the project.
•    The applicant should also describe in less than 100 words how they would use the Award Bursary

The criteria for entries are;
•    The person shall be Under 35 years old on January 1st 2012
•    The person will be a member of the CILT
•    The person may nominate themselves but the nomination should be endorsed by their local CILT Branch. (A number of CILT Branches have been arranging their own Young Achiever of the Year Awards. The winner is then nominated to the CILT International Young Achiever of the Year. In some cases as part of their prize the Young Achiever will represent their Council as one of the Delegates to the CILT International Convention in England.)
•    Persons nominated in previous years can enter again as long as they meet the criteria above. Repeat nominees cannot describe the same projects used in previous submissions.

Nominations should be sent to the Secretary General and must be received by Friday 27th of April 2012. (Email submissions with attached documents are required)

The entries will be reviewed by the CILT International Secretariat. They might contact the applicant by email &/or telephone to ask questions about the project.

The winner will be announced at the CILT International Convention Annual Dinner on Tuesday 12th of June 2012. If the applicant cannot attend then the delegate from their CILT Council will be asked to collect the award on their behalf.

We look forward to receiving nominations from as many CILT Branches as possible.

2011 Winner
Tracey Lines CMILT, CILT Australia

The Mediterranean Cruise Sector: Growth and Future Challenges: 12th December Posted: Thursday, 1^st December 2011

2011 Annual Conference: The Mediterranean Cruise Sector: Growth and Future Challenges: 12th December, 2011 at the Malta Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Enterprise, Republic Street, Valletta, at 19:30 Hours

Please note that at 18.30 the AGM will commence, for more information on this please click this link:
http://www.cilt-international.com/web/pages/allevents

This year’s annual conference will focus on cruise tourism. The cruise sector in Malta has gone from strength to strength. Data released last week by the National Office of Statistics, showed that up to the end of October of this year, there were more passenger movements than the whole of last year. Average annual growth in this sector, between 2001 and 2010, was around 11% which is above the Mediterranean average growth rate, for the same period, of 7.7%. The European Cruise Council reported that direct cruise expenditure in Malta was around €69 million in 2010.

CILT Malta is pleased to announce that Francisco Redell, Royal Caribbean Cruise Line’s Port Operations Manager for the Mediterranean and Middle East, has kindly accepted to address the participants on developments in the cruise sector in the Mediterranean. The undersigned will speak about developments in the local sector. We have also invited a speaker from Transport Malta.

The conference will be held on the 12th of December at the Malta Chamber of Commerce, Enterprise and Industry, Republic Street, Valletta. It will start at 19:30 Hours.

Refreshments will be served after the event.

Anyone interested in attending the event is kindly asked to reply by return email or to send an email to our Hon Secretary, Michael Fleri Soler at info@ciltmalta.org.

As in most CILT Malta conferences, there will be no participation fee for this event.

Of mixed Italian and Argentinean parentage, he was born in Buenos Aires, but spent 18 years in Italy, where he graduated with a degree in Electronics and Telecommunications.

Francisco started working in the cruise business more than 10 years ago, in the port of Civitavecchia, where he covered management roles in shorex and ground operations and later on in the port agency business.

The Honourable Stephen Fletcher, Minister of State for Transport in Canada, addresses CILT North America Posted: Thursday, 1^st December 2011

On the 29th of November 2011 the Canadian Minister of State the Honourable Stephen Fletcher addressed a large group of CILT North America in Ottawa setting out the key issues facing the development of transport infrastructure in Canada. He paid tribute to the cross political consensus over many decades which has been to the benefit of Canada in developing an excellent infrastructure. The Minister worked as a mining engineer until an automobile collision with a moose left him a quadriplegic, paralysed from the neck down. The new Chairman of CILT NA the Honourable David Collenette and International President Alan Waller OBE also addressed the meeting.

Earlier that same day CILT NA hosted a workshop on Dispute resolution with a focus on the important rail sector. And the CILT Trustees and International Management Committee also held meetings in Ottawa on the same day.

Website: www.ciltconference.co.nz

The conference is being held over three days from 5 to 7 March 2012, the first two days in Wellington, New Zealand and the third day in Christchurch, New Zealand. A charter flight between Wellington and Christchurch has been arranged for delegates who register for the full three days.

Natural Disasters, whether an earthquake in Christchurch or a major flood in Queensland, place huge demands on logistics. This conference aims to acquaint delegates with many of the lessons that have been learnt from these two natural disasters, what worked well and what did not work so well, in order that planning and preparation for future natural disasters can be of an even higher quality than hitherto.

The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport is the overall organiser of the conference, and its aims are to educate all those whose work is impacted by logistics, transport and the complete supply chain.
