The Annual Business Meeting at I&E is traditionally the session where NAFA leaders let members and attendees know about all the great things NAFA did the previous year, and offer a glimpse of the Association's future direction. Yesterday morning's meeting was no different, as the proposed changes to NAFA's governing bylaws were detailed. The occasion was also marked by recognition that distracted driving should no longer be tolerated. Pres. Ruth Alfson, CAFM ®, took the opportunity to sign NAFA's No Distracted Driving Pledge and urged all other attendees to do the same.
|
As an official act of the Annual Business Meeting, President Ruth Alfson, CAFM ®, introduced the leaders who will volunteer to steer NAFA forward in 2016/2017.

"We set out to eliminate the excuses of people from blaming government, oil companies, automakers and, ultimately, their ancestors for the lack of sustainable transportation," Rathwell says of the cross-country charging network. "That’s why we electrified the entire Trans-Canada Highway. If the longest highway in the world can be electrified, what can’t be?"

Excitement abounded on Tuesday evening as the winners of the 2016 FLEXY Awards ascended the stage and claimed their awards.

Local government’s fleets have a long history of collaboration. This sharing of information was mostly done between neighboring communities and at a very small scale. With the emergence of companies such as Lyft, Uber, and Airbnb, citizens are changing the way they think about access versus ownership. How will this shift in mentality affect the government sector? Attend the How To Improve Equipment Utilization With Smart Sharing Practices to find out!

The business report will tell you: companies are more likely to be acquired by larger companies than ever before. For the fleet manager, that conversation with upper management about "enhanced duties and responsibilities" could mean your fleet is going global. Are you prepared for the changes? The presentation, Mergers and Acquisitions: Now You've Gone Global is for any fleet manager who is not in the international fleet realm now but may be soon, (or just entered it). Be prepared and take part in this presentation.
