WASHINGTON, D.C., Mar. 5, 2015 – For the first time, The Canadian Courier & Logistics Association (CCLA) will become a part of the Customized Logistics and Delivery Association’s Annual Meeting. The CCLA will hold its business meeting on May 7 and participate in the full CLDA Annual Meeting from May 6 to 9, 2015 at The Walt Disney World Swan & Dolphin in Orlando. Members of the CCLA will also attend the meeting for the CLDA members-only registration fee.

In total, the CCLA’s members employ or use the services of over 100,000 Canadians, maintain operations across Canada and generate annual sales in excess of $10 billion per year.
“We wanted to have our meeting at the CLDA conference because our members have told us that it’s a wonderful gathering of industry professionals. Many of them have wanted to attend,” said CCLA President and CEO David Turnbull.
“We are delighted to welcome the members of the CCLA to our Annual Meeting,” says Jason Burns, chair of the event. “In the past, we’ve had some of their members attend and we expect move to come this year because of this new arrangement.”

The meeting will offer opportunities for participants to attend workshops, network with others in the industry, connect with agents who can expand their delivery territories and share common problems and solutions.
