The Automotive Fleet Hall of Fame recognizes fleet industry leaders and pioneers who have contributed significantly to the commercial fleet management profession. Inductees of the honor have at least 10 years of fleet management experience.
The Hall of Fame was inaugurated in 2008 with 20 founding honorees; and at least three are added to the list each year, which is currently comprised of 85 members. Honorees are currently selected through an online survey.
AFLA is the exclusive sponsor, and inductees are recognized at AFLA's annual conference.
