The 2018 FLEXY Awards: And Your Winners Are...

Excitement abounded on Tuesday evening as the winners of the 2018 FLEXY Awards ascended the stage and claimed their awards.

The FLEXYs - or Fleet Excellence Awards - 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.
