NAFA to Celebrate Golden Anniversary in 2007

ISELIN, NJ, September 25, 2006 – The National Association of Fleet Administrators, Inc. (NAFA) will celebrate its 50^th anniversary in 2007. 

In 1957 a group of fleet management professionals recognized the need of a professional membership society, and, thus, NAFA was born.  John Limpert was elected NAFA’s first president, and NAFA’s Code of Regulations was developed.   NAFA’s first annual conference took place in Detroit in March 1958.  Topics covered at the conference included leasing and ownership, Chrysler’s organizational changes, insurance, new and used car dealer operations, safety and small cars. 

Charles A. Gibbens, Jr., NAFA’s current president and fleet manager for the County of Henrico Virginia, said, “As we celebrate our past, let us also celebrate our future that is filled with exciting challenges and opportunities, never forgetting the initiative and innovation shown by our founders back in 1957.”

The National Association of Fleet Administrators, Inc. (NAFA) is a not-for-profit, individual membership professional society serving the needs of Members who manage fleets of automobiles, SUVs, trucks, vans and a wide range of specialized mobile equipment for organizations in the United States and Canada.
