The nomination period for the second annual Fleet Visionary award is ending tomorrow, Friday, July 14. Sponsored by Merchants Fleet Management, the Fleet Visionary award is designed to recognize and celebrate new voices in fleet management.
The Fleet Visionary award is open to any fleet professional (fleet manager, fleet analyst, fleet executive, etc.) with 10 years or fewer in the industry with a commercial fleet of 50 vehicles or more.
A fleet visionary is also someone who has brought a new perspective to running a commercial fleet with the result that the fleet is more operationally efficient, cost-effective, safer, or any combination of these by introducing new methods, efficiencies, and/or technologies.
To nominate someone (self-nominations are permitted), clearly state why the nominee is a visionary, bringing a new voice and perspective to fleet challenges in 250 words or fewer by filling out the form here.
Time is running out, nominate a Fleet Visionary today! The winners of the award will be recognized at the AFLA conference in Las Vegas on Sept. 18.
