Three public fleet professionals have been chosen for induction into Government Fleet’s Public Fleet Hall of Fame, sponsored by Sourcewell. New inductees are selected by industry professionals via online ballot.
Honorees are recognized industry leaders and pioneers who have significantly contributed to the public fleet profession. To be eligible, they must have at least 20 years of experience in the industry, 10 of which must be spent working for a public fleet or a private company contracted to manage a public fleet. Ten inductees formed the inaugural group of Hall of Famers in 2014, followed by eight in 2015, six in 2016, four in 2017, and three in 2018. This year and in every subsequent year, three inductees will be named.
