Mr Hansen is the latest fleet expert to join the faculty at NAFA’s 3rd Annual International Fleet Academy, which takes place 21-23 October 2013 at Loews Ventana Canyon in Tucson, AZ.

‘The Request for Information (RFI) and Request for Quote (RFQ) processes are among the most important aspects of fleet management,’ explained NAFA’s executive director, Phillip E Russo.  ‘A well-crafted RFI/RFQ can lead to incredible cost savings for a fleet department. Hansen will reveal the obstacles and hurdles his company faced, how they were overcome, and point out the areas which included the most significant cost savings. It’s one of three eye-opening discussions on the RFI-RFQ processes that day which will benefit anyone who manages a global fleet.”

The RFI-RFQ processes are further examined during two additional sessions:

• What an OEM Expects and What They Deliver in Return – Representatives from major global OEM suppliers discuss their perspectives on the tender processes used by fleet managers to secure vehicles.
• What a Fleet Management Company Expects and What They Deliver in Return – Representatives from major fleet management companies discuss their perspectives on the tender processes used by fleet managers to secure vehicles.

In addition to the educational sessions, NAFA’s International Fleet Academy offers exclusive networking opportunities and a cocktail reception and dinner each night. Registration costs are $799 for NAFA members and $1,550 for non-members. Fleet professionals may save $200 off the registration costs by joining NAFA as they register.

Attendees receive several value-added educational items to take back to the office including a ready-to-use executive summary; free subscription to International Fleet World magazine; the newly published NAFA’s Global Fleet Guide; and valuable checklists for policies, RFIs, and RFQs. All total, it’s a resource package valued at $2,500.
