Upcoming Chapter Meetings
NAFA's local chapters across Canada and the United States offer Members and Affiliates numerous opportunities to meet colleagues and receive valuable fleet management education. Each year, more than 100 NAFA chapter meetings provide top-level education and training opportunities on a wide variety of timely topics.
Remember, we want your photos and meeting recaps for FleetFOCUS! Be sure to send them to ddunphy@nafa.org and let the rest of NAFA see what your chapter has been up to.
