And The Winners Of This Year's FLEXY Awards Are...
The debut of NAFA’s Fleet Excellence Awards (FLEXY) was a huge success on Tuesday, April 23. Seven fleet professionals were honored for their achievements in safety, sustainability, leadership, and overall outstanding achievement in front of a packed ballroom at the Trump Taj Mahal.
"More than 1,500 fleet professionals packed the Grand Ballroom!" exclaimed NAFA’s Executive Director, Phillip E. Russo, CAE. "We didn’t know what to expect, but the event went beyond our expectations. We said we wanted to create an ‘Oscars Night’ for fleet managers, and we succeeded. You could literally feel the tension in the room."
