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.
