NAFA To Hold Fleet Management Seminar At LAX Marriot Airport Hotel

(PRINCETON, NJ - NOVEMBER 30, 2012) - Fleet management may be one of the most important yet most overlooked positions in the business world. The profession involves aspects of accounting, business law, data collection, risk management, and fuel management, in addition to the purchase and maintenance of vehicles. In many ways, fleet managers are the unsung heroes keeping businesses moving. Fleet managers who want to learn the fundamental principles and practices behind successful fleet management should attend NAFA’s Fleet Management Seminar (FMS) January 23-25 in Los Angeles.

The FMS was designed specifically for new fleet managers (those with less than five years of experience). Held at the LAX Marriot Airport Hotel, the location is convenient for fleet managers from throughout the country. Those registering before December 31 will save $75 off the standard registration price ($770 for NAFA Members, $870 for non-members) and can receive a discounted hotel rate of $119 per night. Attendees will enjoy continental breakfast, lunch, and a reception for each of the first two days.

During NAFA’s FMS, attendees will learn:

  • Risk Management -- How to use insurance, driver training, and crash analysis to manage fleets
  • Asset Management -- How fleet vehicles are priced, selected, utilized, and ultimately remarketed
  • Financial Management -- How to make the lease-purchase-reimburse decision, what Lifecycle Cost Analysis means, and how to budget for fleet replacement
  • Professional Development - How to motivate individuals and groups, effective communication techniques, and ethics
  • Business Management - How to write fleet policies, evaluating Request For Proposals (RFPs), and business law
  • Maintenance Management - How to determine maintenance programs and staffing levels, and a look at basic vehicle components
  • Vehicle Fuel Management - How to understand fuel options and the systems to deliver them
  • Fleet Information Management - Instruction on IT terminology, system implementation, data analysis, and new technologies for fleets
