Celebrating Membership Milestones
This month several Members and Affiliates are celebrating important NAFA membership milestones. NAFA would like to thank them for being a part of our family. It is our Members who help make this Association successful. Your volunteer work has helped create and successfully run various committees, provide publications, educational workshops and testing, and annually offer our Institute and Expo. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication!
Celebrating 25 Years With NAFA:

"I still remember the first NAFA meeting I attended and how welcome everyone made me feel. I know that if it wasn’t for NAFA I wouldn’t be where I am in the fleet business today."
