The City of Tulsa, Okla., Equipment Management Division was named the No. 1 fleet among the Leading Fleets at the Government Fleet Expo and Conference (GFX) on June 5.
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.
"It's about all the people in our organizaton. It's about our asset management director Mark Hogan, who listens to what we need to do and he takes those messages out there and goes to administration and the executive management that helps us make that happen," said Mike Wallace, maintenance manager. He thanked his whole team, including administrative manager Brian Franklin, administrative supervisor John Reel (who was also present to accept the award), and everyone else working at the City of Tulsa Equipment Management Division.
Judges Craig Croner, Kelly Reagan, and Bob Stanton, as well as staff from Government Fleet and Ford and Geotab, the award sponsors, were on stage to congratulate the fleet.
