Prior to the CAFM® graduates recognition event at the Institute & Expo, Jakob Cormier, CAFM® was awarded the NAFA Foundation's 2016 Willard DaSilva Student Scholarship.
The $3,000 scholarship was created to honor outstanding academic achievements of an individual enrolled in the automotive or fleet program of a NAFA partner university.
NAFA Foundation President Tom Lubas said of Jakob: "(He) became the youngest person to earn the CAFM® designation when he did so at the age of 21 while a student at Georgian College in Ontario. He has attended the last five I&Es and over a dozen fleet management seminars and boot camps. During these events he made himself available to individuals preparing for the CAFM® exam. In short, he is truly invested in the fleet profession, and the NAFA Foundation decided to -- in turn -- invest in him."
The Scholarship was named in honor of NAFA’s long-time legal counsel,
Willard H. DaSilva, and the recipient was determined by the NAFA
Foundation.
