1. After a one-year hiatus, the DHL Public Policy

Hosted by Roger Libby, Executive VP of
Corporate Public Policy for DPDHL Americas,

unique opportunity for DHL senior leadership
to engage customers, vendors and business
and government partners in a timely dialogue
on new disruptions to international trade and
commerce. Addressing seismic shifts in both
U.S. and global political landscapes – and their
impact on global logistics and supply chains –
the Forum covered topics including:
§§ How new media’s changing coverage of
events in Washington is impacting business
and government policy
§§ The future direction of trade and the
economy
§§ Disruptions to the digital economy, delivery
services and U.S. regulations
§§ Global security changes, shifting alliances
and co-creation
Speakers included U.S. Senator Jeff Flake
(R-AZ), Mexico’s U.S. Ambassador Gerónimo
Gutiérrez, Steve Clemons (editor of The
Atlantic magazine) and author and ABC
News contributor Kristin Soltis Anderson.
U.S. Chamber of Commerce President and
CEO Tom Donohue offered a private-sector
perspective, and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY)
shared insights on U.S. legislation and
world events.
Delivering the keynote address was
U.S. Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross,
highlighting the who’s who of political and
business leaders, policy makers and global
strategists in attendance.

LOGISTICS EXPERTISE
DHL SHARING LOGISTICS EXPERTISE
WITH MILITARY
For the third year in a row, DHL took part in
the U.S. Army’s LANPAC (Land Power in the
Pacific) Symposium & Exposition, held in May
in Hawaii. The international event highlighted
the role of military land forces in the Indo-Asia-
Pacific Theater, including their contributions in
times of both peace and war.
Speaking to more than 1,500 leaders from
both military and commercial organizations,
DHL National Account Manager Vince Crook
gave an informative overview of the integrated
logistics systems that the U.S. armed forces
use in their shipping, tracking and billing
operations. He also detailed how DHL employs
its own technology to work with those systems.
Afterward, as a result of his powerful and
enlightening presentation, several attendees –
including a U.S. Army general and Assistant
Chief of Staff for the Marine Corps – requested
that Crook come and speak at their own
upcoming events.

‘OPERATION COOKIE’ GIVES SOLDIERS A
TASTE OF HOME
As part of their “Operation Cookie” program –
run in partnership with DHL since 2005 – the
Girl Scouts of Nassau County (GSNC) in New
York state recently celebrated a new milestone.
The organization delivered more than 71,000
boxes of Girl Scout Cookies in 2017 to U.S.
military personnel stationed both abroad and at
home, with a little help from DHL.
To deliver this tasty “thank you” to American
troops worldwide, Nassau County locals
purchase extra boxes and cases of cookies,
which DHL ships for free. To date, some 691,000
boxes of cookies have been sent to troops in
places such as Afghanistan, Philippines, Iraq,
South Korea, and locations within the U.S. also.

DHL DELIVERS MESSAGE OF THANKS TO
U.S. TROOPS
In our online world, email, texts and Facebook
make long-distance communication a snap, but
for soldiers serving overseas, nothing compares
to a real card or letter from home. That’s why,
for Memorial Day 2017, the DHL Customer Care
Team in Tempe, Arizona, sent special thank-you
cards to about 150 U.S. troops in Afghanistan to
honor their service.
