‘Going Global’ at NAFA’s 4th Annual International Fleet Academy
Mergers and acquisitions, along with “going global”, are common business and financial practices in today’s economy, leaving many organizations’ employees to be expected to quickly pick up new skills and responsibilities in a complex environment of varying cultures and processes.

The conference will be held July 14 – 16 in Orlando, Florida.

Russo added, “Whether you are building the infrastructure for a global fleet, are moving from a traditional fleet background to a global dynamic, or are an experienced professional with a complex fleet that spans across numerous nations and cultures, NAFA’s International Fleet Academy will benefit you!”
