The Public Fleet Hall of Fame honorees will be chosen by a combination of industry professionals via an online ballot and Government Fleet staff. Three fleet veterans will be inducted this year. Of all the Hall of Fame inductees, one exceptional fleet professional will be chosen to receive the Legendary Lifetime Achievement Award. Both awards are in partnership with Sourcewell.
The recipients of these awards will be recognized at The Honors Celebration during the Government Fleet Expo & Conference (GFX). Past winners can be seen here.
