NAFA Fleet Management Association, the vehicle fleet industry's largest membership association, announces the recipients of the sixth annual Fleet Excellence awards (FLEXYs), presented last night during the opening of its annual conference, the NAFA Institute & Expo (I&E).

The FLEXYs shine a spotlight on those who have impacted fleet management in both the corporate and public fleet segments during the previous year. Three finalists were chosen for each of the seven categories.

The FLEXYs are open to all fleet professionals, regardless of whether or not they were members of NAFA Fleet Management Association. Industry leaders, acting as judges in the selection process for finalists and winners, never saw the names of nominees or the organizations they work for.

Voting was 100 percent blind, based solely upon the actions and ideas listed by the nominees on their submission forms. This allowed for unbiased selection based strictly on the quality of nominee accomplishments.

Wheels, Inc., is the corporate sponsor of this year's FLEXY awards.
