Any industry professional can nominate a fleet manager for this award, including fleet employees, suppliers, and consultants. Self-nominations are also accepted.

The recipients of these awards will be recognized at The Honors Celebration during the Government Fleet Expo & Conference (GFX). The winner and finalists will be featured in Government Fleet magazine.

Past winners of the Public Sector Fleet Manager of the Year award include Dan Berlenbach from the City of Long Beach, California; Mark Stevens from the City of Sacramento, California; and Robert Stine, CAFM, CPFP, Hillsborough County, Florida, and Sara Burnam, MSL, CAFM, fleet management director for Palm Beach County, Florida.
