FLEXY Awards: And Your Winners Are...

Excitement abounded on Tuesday evening of I&E as the winners of the 2014 FLEXY Awards ascended the stage and claimed their awards.

The FLEXYs are open to all fleet professionals, regardless of whether or not they were members of NAFA Fleet Management Association. Industry leaders, acting as judges in the selection process for finalists and winners, never saw the names of nominees or the organizations they work for. Voting was 100 percent blind; based solely upon the actions and ideas listed by the nominees on their submission forms. This allowed for unbiased selection based strictly on the quality of nominee accomplishments.

Returning as emcee was Stuart Ellis-Meyers, also known as "Twitchy," who brought his fun, high energy delivery to the night's festivities.

For more information on 2014's FLEXY winners, future issues of NAFA's FLEETSolutions magazine will feature articles with these distinguished individuals.
