Women in Logistics and Transport
WiLAT or Women in Logistics and Transport, is the International Women’s
Group at the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport. The first
WiLAT chapter was founded in 2010 by a group of female Institute
members under Aisha Ali Ibrahim of CILT Nigeria. During the 2012
CILT Annual Convention in the UK, the importance of the WiLAT
message was recognised and the Institute committed to replicating
its good works and experiences across the world.

How is WiLAT Organised
WiLAT is organised into national chapters and
led by a Global Convenor who sits on the CILT
International Management Committee. The
Global Convenor, aided by the Global Advisor, is
responsible for the growth and development of
WiLAT internationally and for co-ordinating the
annual global conference. The Global Convenor
is supported by Regional Co-ordinators who
organise and drive forward the WiLAT agenda
regionally, promoting the interests of women
and encouraging membership. Country
Chairpersons work with and on behalf of
women at the local level, organising events,
providing support and networking



What is WiLAT's Mission?
To promote the status of
women in logistics and transport,
to bring together those who
support talent and career
development of women and to
provide a support network and
mentoring opportunities for
women in the sector.
