(PRINCETON, NJ – June 20, 2013) -- For more and more corporate fleet managers,
work no longer ends at the border. As
companies expand globally, many find themselves not only being asked to develop
and implement fleet policies for their own region, but for their company’s
entire operation. These fleet
professionals face cultural differences, language barriers, and resistance to
change from long-standing traditions.
NAFA Fleet Management Association, the leader in global fleet management
education, offers guidance for those who manage global fleets with its 3rd
Annual International Fleet Academy this October.
NAFA’s International Fleet Academy is the
premier industry event for global fleet managers. The three day conference (October 21-23,
2013) will demystify global fleet management as experts and panel discussions
provide valuable cost-savings strategies, offer strategic overviews on the
differences among countries and cultures, list the right questions to ask
during the Request For Information or Request For Quote processes, and present
valuable lessons on how to decrease your corporate liability by avoiding
international insurance pitfalls. In
addition to over 15 educational sessions, the conference offers networking
opportunities throughout the day and a cocktail reception and dinner each night
“Whether you are just building the
infrastructure for a global fleet or are an experienced professional with a
complex fleet that spans across numerous nations and cultures, NAFA’s
International Fleet Academy will benefit you,” said NAFA’s Executive Director,
Phillip E. Russo, CAE. “From the
educational sessions to the opportunity to network with other fleet
professionals facing the same global challenges that you are, this conference
is a must-attend event for the serious global fleet professional!”

Fleet Academy takes place at Loews Ventana Canyon in Tucson, Arizona. Early-bird registration is $650 for NAFA
