On Wednesday morning, prior to the CAFM graduation recognition, Ryan Meppelink of Ferris State University was awarded the NAFA Foundation's 2018 Willard DaSilva Student Scholarship. The scholarship recipient was determined by the NAFA Foundation and was presented by NAFA Foundation President Claude Masters, CAFM.

Mobile technology and applications have drastically changed the way fleets and fleet professionals operate. Today, it is more vital than ever for drivers and other field workers to be able to complete tasks on-the-go and for technicians and office personnel to work within their fleet management software system without being chained to their computers. How can you take advantage of these time-saving technologies? Find out this afternoon with the session Leveraging Mobile Applications for Fleet Operations moderated by Anthony Orta, Fleet Strategy & Maintenance Ops Mgr., SoCalGas; and featuring speaker Michael Bernstein, Sales Engineer, AssetWorks, LLC. 

In the session Law Enforcement Fleet Support for High Profile Events, experts who have been through attention-grabbing events will provide advice and guidance about how to successfully execute fleet support. Explore the "must haves," "like to haves," and expectations when working with a range of jurisdictions, as well as how to manage these events that can stretch your limited resources.

Join Moderator John Wuich, V.P. Business Analytics, Donlen, for a conversation with Phil Samuelson, Fleet & Capital Asset Manager, USIC Locating Services; and Sonya Garrepy, Fleet Manager, IDEXX; and identify key components that should be included in a meaningful internal score card. Learn to "talk" cost savings in terms that your executives understand, and choose the right tools to illustrate how your fleet program supports organizational objectives.
