            • Supply Chain Logistics Council

            •  

              ABOUT THE SUPPLY CHAIN & LOGISTICS COUNCIL

              The Wilmington Chamber of Commerce recognizes that resilient, efficient, and secure supply chains are fundamental to our local and statewide commerce, economy, and the overall standard of living in our community. To address the critical challenges that threaten the stability of our supply chains—ranging from infrastructure investments, security threats and economic volatility to production issues and workforce shortages—the Wilmington Chamber is launching a Supply Chain and Logistics Council.

              This council aims to bring together leaders from the local industry to collaboratively tackle these issues and support industry growth. Our goal is to create a robust and collaborative network that enhances supply chain resilience, drives economic growth, and sustains the prosperity of Wilmington’s business community.
