The OEM "Fireside Chat" Panel Discussion returns for its second I&E appearance on Wednesday, April 9 in Ballroom A. Join colleagues and attendees as NAFA President Claude T. Masters, CAFM, moderates this insightful presentation. Last year's "Fireside Chat" was so well-received, the membership asked for it to return. This year's lineup features new and familiar faces alike, adding the perspectives of automakers that are coming off a banner year for the industry. This I&E presentation will link that success to how fleet impacts these manufacturers.

Safety involves every aspect of what a fleet manager does. It is the single aspect that, when things go wrong, they can go catastrophically wrong. That is why fleet managers insisted on a robust slate of safety-related sessions at the 2014 I&E. This track of education sessions are meant to inform, provoke, and spur you to action.
