San Bernardino County, Calif., was named the No. 1 fleet among the Leading Fleets at the Government Fleet Expo and Conference (GFX) on June 13.
The operation was chosen the overall No. 1 fleet for showing leadership with staff, with customers and within the community; staying efficient and competitive; overcoming challenges; and having a vision and direction for the operation.
Michael Jabaay, motor shop supervisor, and James Nguyen, motor fleet superintendent, were present to accept the award on behalf of the county.
“To be recognized by your peers is a great honor and is very humbling. When your team is passionate about what they do and strive to do their very best day in and day out, their efforts are reflective of who they are. Getting this award was a collaborative effort over many years, by the entire team. Together we make it work. Thank you for this great recognition," Roger Weaver, CAFM, CPFP, CPM, fleet management director for the county said after learning about the team's placement.
