Fleet sustainability programs recognized

The NAFA Fleet Management Association (NAFA) has honored several fleets for their sustainability plans.

NAFA is the world’s premier non-profit association for professionals who manage fleets of sedans, public safety vehicles, trucks, and buses of all types and sizes, and a wide range of military and off-road equipment for organizations across the globe.

NAFA's 2011 Sustainable Fleet Awards were presented during the association’s 2011 Institute & Expo, held recently in Charlotte, NC.

Awards went to:

• Angela Sherick-Bright, acting assistant general manager, General Services Department, City of Los Angeles, CA. • Gerry Calk, fleet manager, City of Austin, TX. • Amy Leddy, manager of national program management, Liberty Mutual, Boston, MA. • Gary Polito, global commodity manager for travel, fleet and meetings at EMD Millipore.

This was the fourth consecutive year that NAFA has presented these awards to individuals who have implemented creative programs to help with their company’s overall sustainable or green initiative. Entries were judged on originality, innovativeness, and demonstrated accomplishment for reducing energy consumption.
