The NAFA Fleet Management Association, the largest membership association in the vehicle fleet industry, has announced a new initiative to bolster fleet management practices across North America. From October 7-9, 2024, NAFA will host a Fleet Policy Workshop in Indianapolis, Indiana, designed to provide fleet professionals with in-depth knowledge and practical skills in developing and implementing effective fleet policies.
This three-day interactive workshop comes at a crucial time when the fleet management landscape is rapidly evolving. With increasing complexities in compliance, efficiency, and overall operational success, well-structured policies have become more critical than ever. The workshop aims to address these challenges by offering a comprehensive curriculum that covers the entire lifecycle of policy strategy, from development to implementation and assessment.
Bill Schankel, CAE, CEO of NAFA, emphasized the importance of the event, stating, ‘Well-crafted fleet policies are the backbone of successful fleet operations. This workshop is tailored to provide fleet managers with a detailed understanding of policy creation and application, ensuring they are equipped to handle the complexities of modern fleet management.’
Participants in the Fleet Policy Workshop can expect to gain valuable insights from industry experts and engage in hands-on activities. The workshop will cover a range of critical topics, including the fundamentals and strategies of policy writing, policy needs assessment and implementation, customizing fleet policies, and conducting policy audits and assessments.
The significance of this workshop extends beyond individual fleet managers. NAFA’s members collectively manage assets and services valued at over $122 billion annually, overseeing more than 4.8 million vehicles that drive an estimated 84 billion miles each year. By enhancing the policy-making skills of these professionals, the workshop has the potential to impact the efficiency and effectiveness of fleet operations on a massive scale.
This initiative by NAFA reflects the growing recognition of the need for standardized, best-practice approaches in fleet management. As fleets become more complex, incorporating various vehicle types including commercial, public safety, trucks, and buses, as well as military and off-road equipment, the demand for comprehensive and adaptable policies has never been higher.
The workshop also addresses the increasing focus on sustainability and cost-efficiency in fleet management. Well-crafted policies can play a crucial role in implementing environmentally friendly practices and optimizing resource utilization, which are becoming key priorities for many organizations.
For fleet professionals looking to stay ahead in their field, the Fleet Policy Workshop presents a unique opportunity. Early bird registration is available through August 9, 2024, offering attendees a chance to secure their spots at a reduced rate.
As the fleet management industry continues to evolve, events like this workshop play a crucial role in shaping the future of the field. By providing a platform for learning, collaboration, and skill development, NAFA is helping to ensure that fleet managers are well-equipped to meet the challenges of tomorrow’s transportation landscape.
