Carolyn Edwards, LeasePlan USA's senior vice president of client success, will be speaking about the Women in Fleet Management program at a fleet conference in Australia.

Edwards will be at the 2019 Australasian Fleet Conference and Exhibition in Melbourne, Australia, on May 22-24, 2019, and will present two of the program’s key sessions; The Changing Face of Fleet Management and Women in Fleet Management, according to LeasePlan.

“I’m very much looking forward to presenting at AfMA and I’m excited to introduce Women in Fleet Management to our counterparts in the Australasian fleet industry,” said Edwards.

WIFM was an initiative that she helped found back in 2012, and now has a reach of over 1,700 fleet professionals via its associated AFLA membership, LinkedIn discussion groups, and industry receptions.

WIFM offers a number of programs, including periodic webinars focused on personal and professional development topics, a dedicated speaker session held in conjunction with the AFLA Annual Corporate Fleet Conference and a year-round mentorship program.
