BUILDING THE FUTURE-READY COMMUNITY OF CANADIAN SUPPLY CHAIN LEADERS Who We Are

National Institute of Supply Chain Leaders (NISCL), formerly operating as SCMAO or SCMABC, is one of Canada’s largest communities for supply chain professionals, with over 4,000+ members and a broader community of 13,000+ supply chain professionals. Anchored by a legacy of 35 years and fuelled by a vision that has the future of supply chain at its core, the rebranded NISCL is committed to strengthening the supply chain network which embodies end to end supply chain.

The L in the logo clearly symbolizes Leadership attributes, which is also our brand attribute. The different gradations of blue in our logo indicate the various functions of supply chain and the long continuous line shows our representation of end-to-end supply chain. The continuous line also is indicative of the fact that leadership is a continuum, and a continuous learning path. The various levels of L are a great representation of our different levels of the new CSCL Designation.

*The membership numbers are as of April 30, 2024, end of fiscal.
