"I had a wonderful forty-year career at GE Healthcare from which I recently retired. I was fortunate enough to lead my fleet as well as our internal GE Fleet Council through the years bringing growth along with process improvement. My active involvement in NAFA from the Chapter level to the National level allowed me to grow as an individual. I can’t say enough how much you will get back by giving a little. NAFA blue runs through my veins!

"I have met wonderful people from across this country and have learned so much from them all. At this point, I am still saying yes with volunteering my time with the School Sisters of Notre Dame for their fleet. I also watch my two grandsons a few days a week, run our local high school concession stand, and am treasurer with a group supporting our high school athletics with capital improvements, work with our feeder football team on fundraising events, and of course still am an active member of the Wisconsin NAFA Chapter."


Patrick D. Stroud
Fleet Manager
City of Rockville
Fleet Services
Rockville, MD

 

 "I have been employed at the City of Rockville, MD for 32 years, the entire time in the Public Works/Fleet Services Division and serving as the Fleet Manager for 27 years.   

"Although the fleet is considered small (less than 450 units), it is very diversified and must meet the needs of all the premium services the City provides its citizens in water & sewer utilities, refuse collections, street maintenance, storm water management, and recreation parks operations. That also means that I, as the manager of a small fleet, assume many different roles in addition to division head such as fleet system administrator, procurement specialist,  budget developer, and fuel operations management.  

"For 25 of those years, NAFA has been a great resource for helping me with many of these areas responsibility. Whether it was though an on-line training or networking with follow colleagues at a regional or national event, the time invested into the organization has been invaluable."

It is the strength of our members like Sheryl and Patrick that has helped make NAFA the strongest association in fleet management today.
