Government Fleet to Recognize Top Fleet Professionals Under 40
Government Fleet is accepting nominations of fleet managers, supervisors, technicians, analysts, etc., under 40 who have contributed to their own operations or show potential as emerging fleet leaders.
With many fleet managers ready to retire, who will step in to take their place? Government Fleet is looking to recognize the best young fleet professionals under 40 and see how they’re preparing to change the industry.
We’re looking for nominations of fleet managers, supervisors, technicians, analysts, etc., under 40 who are successful, motivated, and show promise. Perhaps they’ve made important contributions to their own operations, they’re active within the industry, or show potential as emerging fleet leaders.
The nominee must be under 40 years old as of Jan. 31, 2016 and be employed by a public fleet or company contracted by a public fleet.
Anyone working within the fleet industry can submit a nomination. Fleet managers may nominate more than one person within their agency. Self-nominations are accepted. Nominations are due end of day Wednesday, Nov. 18.
