The I&E Experience
 
   
After weeks of intense judging by industry leaders, the finalists for NAFA's 2015 Fleet Excellence Awards have been chosen. The Fleet Excellence Awards (or FLEXY for short) were designed to shine a spotlight on those who have impacted fleet management in both the corporate and public fleet segments during the previous year.

NAFA‘s Fleet Excellence Awards (FLEXYs) is clearly the industry’s biggest and most important awards event. In just its third year, this year’s FLEXYs have already outgrown its venue and are being moved to the Orange County Convention Center to accommodate the expected crowd of 1,400 fleet professionals. NAFA’s 2015 FLEXY Awards will take place Tuesday, April 14, at 5:45 pm in Hall D of the Orange County Convention Center. The FLEXYs were originally scheduled to be in the ballroom of the Rosen Centre Hotel.

NAFA's Institute & Expo sessions provide the most-current and most-effective fleet education in the profession. Attendees to the I&E have asked for a more concrete signifier of what they learned at the conference. Just as NAFA presented in 2014, you can print attendee verification letters, confirming you have participated in the education sessions offered at this year's I&E.

Motivational speaker Shawn Achor has keyed in on the field of positive psychology, whereby how you view the world affects the world and your relationship with it. Happy people, engaged individuals, are more likely to be creative, productive, enthusiastic, and able to accept change, challenges, and stress. That is exactly the message NAFA wants for our kick-off of the 2015 Institute & Expo, April 14-17, in Orlando, Florida.

These tools can help your organization become educated about alternative fuels such as natural gas, propane, electricity, and bio-fuels and aid in fleet decision making.
