The list of nominees will be pared down to just three fleet managers with the winner announced at NAFA's 2010 Institute & Expo on Sunday, April 25 at the Cobo Center in Detroit, Michigan.

"We are very proud that eight of the eleven corporate fleet nominees this year are members of the NAFA family," said NAFA's Executive Director, Phillip E. Russo, CAE. "Most of them have served NAFA on the national and chapter levels, so we know and are grateful for their contributions to the entire fleet community. We think they are all winners in our book!"
NAFA routinely attracts the best minds in the corporate fleet world and is working on innovative ways to tap into the creative energy and experience of these leaders. A new Corporate Advisory Board is being created to allow them a greater opportunity to be influential within the Association without facing undue time constraints.
