Automotive Fleet and Leasing Association (AFLA) Annual Conference
9/9/2009 - 9/11/2009
PHOENIX — The 41st annual AFLA 2009 Conference will be held at the Arizona Biltmore Resort & Spa in Phoenix, Arizona.
In its 35+ years since its founding, the Automotive Fleet & Leasing Association (AFLA) has emerged as a dynamic organization that promotes growth, expansion and professionalism within the fleet industry by providing education, research, technical standards, representation and advancement of member interests.
AFLA has brought unity to an industry so fragmented in 1969 that it had no networking forum for fleet buyers and sellers to exchange reliable industry information or education. Today AFLA has more than 300 member companies representing all industry segments, including: fleet managers and buyers; auto manufacturers and dealers; remarketers; fleet lease; management; maintenance and repair companies; safety, transporting, upfitting and many other specialized suppliers.
AFLA works with member companies to address key issues facing the entire industry and deliver leading-edge programs, on everything from advanced vehicle design to telematics and remarketing, that advance their skills and enhance the environment in which they sell products and services.
AFLA is an active and growing association and welcomes industry professionals to join its loyal and enthusiastic membership.
