TORRANCE, CA – Government Fleet magazine has launched a new awards program called “Technician of the Month.” Each month Government Fleet will feature a technician on Government Fleet’s website, and in our enewsletter, from the submissions we receive from within Fleet Toolbox, which is free to join for public-sector fleet professionals.

Once per year, at Government Fleet Expo & Conference (GFX), we will award a single technician from our list of Technician of the Month recipients to receive a Technician of the Year award.

Qualified public-sector fleet managers can join Fleet Toolbox to nominate a Technician of the Month via this link.

For public-sector fleet managers, recognizing employees is crucial to good morale, and we want to provide you with a new way to recognize the technicians who not only work hard, day in, day out, but who contribute great ideas that improve maintenance operations.

If you are already a member of Fleet Toolbox, when you're logged in, you can nominate a technician by clicking on the banner shown in the image below.

Key criteria to focus on when submitting a candidate are not only certifications and years of experience but also creativity, such as novel solutions to maintenance problems, cost-saving ideas, and the ability to work well in a team environment. If you have any questions about the submission process or judging criteria, contact Government Fleet’s Web Editor Greg Basich at greg.basich@bobit.com.
