香港電商物流協會（HKELA）第一屆就職典禮於四月二十八號順利舉行。我們榮幸邀請到運輸及物流局局長林世雄先生主持就職儀式，為協會顧問和董事會成員頒發證書。
香港電商物流協會會長張淑明小姐表示：「很高興今天聯同局長林世雄先生，香港電商物流協會的名譽顧問，董事局成員，青年委員會成員和一衆委員會成員，與各位一起恭賀第一屆成員就職。HKELA 今天可以匯聚物流業界的精英，秉承與電商物流業界共同成長，進步的景願。我們也會全力響應和支持特區政府，包括海運及空運人才培訓基金，另類吸煙產品聯運轉運等推措施，期望協助推行物流業發展的相關政策，以鞏固香港作為國際航空樞紐的地位。」
除了團結行業内的力量服務社群外，張淑明亦强調，協會注重青少年發展，鼓勵他們投身電子商務物流行業。 憑藉電子商務物流的巨大潛力，協會為學生和應屆畢業生提供培育環境。HKELA透過與 LSCM，數碼港，香港生產力促進局等機構舉辦活動，使年輕人可以深入了解複雜的電子商務物流，同時與HKELA會員一起擴大他們的專業網絡。 因應行業人手不足問題，協會致力連接潛在雇主及青年人，以補充行業的需求和迎合市場急速發展的需要。
香港電商物流協會亦成立青年委員會，以加强推進學生和年輕人在電商物流業的發展。青年委員會會長陳富輝先生表示：「要進一步推進社會的新力軍加入電商物流行業，讓他們突破對物流行業的傳統印象十分重要。我們希望可以將日新月異的電商銷售模式展示給新一代，讓他們瞭解電商物流對科技，市場推廣，和營銷管理等等的龐大的人才需求和發展潛力。」青年委員會會長陳富輝先生期望可以增加與學生和年輕一代交流合作，激發更多年輕人才加入發展蓬勃的電商物流行業。

We are honored to invite Mr. Lam Sai-hung, the Secretary of the Transport and Logistics Bureau, to preside over the inauguration ceremony and award certificates to the association’s advisors and board members.
Ms. Suki Cheung, President of the Hong Kong E-Commerce Logistics Association, said: “It is a great pleasure to have Mr. Lam Sai-hung, our honorary advisors, board members and youth committee members to celebrate the first HKELA inauguration. The association brings together the elites of the logistics industry today, adhering to the vision of promoting the growth of the e-commerce logistics industry. We advocate and support the HKSAR government on policies including the Maritime and Aviation Training Fund (MATF), new legislation on the transshipment of alternative smoking products, and other directions to promote the e-commerce logistics industry. We look forward to facilitating the implementation of policies, so as to consolidate Hong Kong’s position as an international aviation hub.”
Ms. Suki Cheung also emphasized the importance of youth talent development in the e-commerce logistics industry. Therefore, one of HKELA’s key vision is to provide a nurturing environment for students and fresh graduates. Through organizing events with LSCM, Cyberport, Hong Kong Productivity Council and other organizations, HKELA empowers youths to have an in-depth understanding of the industry, while also expand their professional network with HKELA members. In response to the shortage of manpower in the industry, HKELA is committed to connecting potential employers and youths to meet the needs of the rapid market growth.
The Hong Kong E-Commerce Logistics Association Youth Committee President, Mr. Francis Chan said: “To further promote our new blood to join the industry, it is vital to break through the traditional impression in the field. We hope to show the ever-changing E-commerce sales models to the new generation, along with different career paths on technology, marketing, business development and much more.” Francis looks forward to inspiring more young talents to join the thriving e-commerce logistics industry.
