The fleet industry is a powerful think-tank where great ideas in management, sustainability, and even the very design and adaptation of automotive vehicles are born. Each year NAFA Fleet Management Association (NAFA) celebrates the great ideas and money- and time-saving concepts that rise from the innovation of the fleet profession. NAFA’s Fleet Excellence Awards (FLEXY) honors the game-changers in the profession.
The 2017 Fleet Excellence Awards submission deadline is January 20, 2017. Embarking on its fifth year, the FLEXYs will once again award in the fields of sustainability, safety, and overall fleet management achievement. After experiencing yet another unprecedented response in 2016, the competition for 2017 has begun in earnest and another fierce competition is underway.
NAFA welcomes individuals and teams to submit an entry for the 2017 Fleet Excellence Awards at http://www.flexyawards.com. Three finalists for each award will be chosen for both public fleets and corporate fleets. In addition, one award will be presented in the area of fleet leadership.
Finalists will be notified in February and are invited to attend the awards ceremony in Tampa, Florida on April 25, where the winner will be announced live on stage in front of hundreds of fleet professionals. The awards presentation is part of an opening night party that celebrates the start of NAFA’s annual Institute & Expo.
Finalists are chosen from an esteemed panel of judges that includes fleet management professionals, members of the media, and industry organizations. To ensure the legitimacy of the awards, judges never see the names of the nominees nor the organizations they work for. Voting is 100 percent blind; based solely upon the achievements listed by the nominees on their submission forms. This allows for judging by merit, not name recognition.
Individuals may nominate themselves or someone else. Fleet suppliers are free to nominate their clients as well. If additional information for a submission is required, the nominee will be notified to present further data.
