The conference, presented by the Alabama Chapter of NAFA Fleet Management Association, kicks off with a pool side reception sponsored by NAPA Auto Parts on Thursday night and followed by two days of presentations and networking on Friday and Saturday.
Topics to be covered during the conference include:
Service Level Agreements Celena Stone, CAFM, Fleet Manager for the City of Huntsville, Alabama will explain how service level agreements can be effective tools for helping providers and customers manage expectations and build strong relationships. The presentation will provide a comprehensive understanding of service level agreements and what to do to be successful in establishing them as they become more prevalent in both public and private fleets.

The Benefits of SCR Rex Beck, Territory Manager for Cummins Mid-South will discuss SCR and Diesel Exhaust Fluid with regards to the 2010 Diesel Emissions Standards and why Cummins chose to change directions from in-cylinder to the SCR.
The Dangers of Drowsy Driving Matthew Betz's second presentation will discuss the scope of drowsy driving; how to identify drowsy driving crashes in your fleet; if your fleet drivers are at risk; and how to reduce the risk of drowsy driving crashes in your fleet.
