What does a winning idea involve? NAFA’s Fleet Excellence Awards (FLEXY) winners and NAFA members tying for first place on the 100 Best Fleets list – representing the finest teams in fleet – agree that it often takes a resource-saving initiative, a champion with passion, senior leaders who are willing to listen, and executives who value input from the experts at all levels in the organization. The winning ideas in 2019 included improving sustainability by moving to aluminum boxes to save weight on truck beds and reduced idling, as well as a fleet manager who went to extraordinary lengths to recruit and retain top technicians. Join us to gather ideas you can use to implement award-winning strategies in 2020.
 
In this presentation sponsored by Wheels, learn more about 2020’s FLEXY winners and NAFA members whose fleets placed on the100 Best Fleet list.

The fleet community would like to congratulate the 2019-2020 class of new CAFM and CAFS professionals, who have completed their certification program since April 2019. We invite each of the CAFM graduates to attend NAFA 2021 Institute & Expo in Pittsburgh to complete the graduation experience and walk the stage. Additionally, we encourage the current CAFS Certificants to continue their certification journey and obtain their CAFM prior to April 2021 and walk the stage as well.

I&E Virtual is excited to welcome more than 70 exhibitors to showcase their products virtually!

- You'll also notice NAFA partner, media sponsor, and exhibitor logos on the Lobby page and other pages throughout the platform. Just click on them to check out their booths and interact with them.
 
Once you're on the expo main page, there will be exhibitor logos featured as well as NAFA partner logos you can select, but to access all of the exhibitors, click on the Exhibitor Directory.
