NAFA annual fleet manager conference slated for April

The NAFA 2010 Institute & Expo will be held April 9-12, 2011, at the Charlotte Convention Center in Charlotte, NC. The program will include expanded educational sessions for veteran fleet managers seeking to further their business knowledge, noted NAFA.

Nearly a dozen sessions designed specifically for veteran corporate fleet managers have been added. The sessions were developed by NAFA Fleet Management Assn. and will include interactive dialogue and discussion.

Among the sessions planned are:

• The Mobilization of Fleet Management: “Discover how to apply technology through an integrated approach that ensures a successful transition from a web-based system to a hybrid of web and mobilized systems.”
• How Do You Get Remote Drivers to Change Behaviors?: “Experts share ideas that have been proven effective, including initiatives that will have a positive impact on safety, costs, and operational efficiency.”
• Congratulations, You’re the Global Fleet Manager! Now What?: “Top executives share how they identified and overcame obstacles to effective global management, including dizzying regulations, privacy laws, accounting standards, cultures, business practices, labor skills, and technology levels.”
• Managing through Merger, Acquisitions, and Divestitures: “More than just case studies, this session features expert direction and strategies for a successful transition of fleet asset from one company to another.”
