Ms Martin brings extensive experience at both for-profit and not-for-profit organisations, most recently with the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association. She spent approximately 12 years with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and was the director of firm practice management there for approximately six years. She is a CPA and has a strong background in process management.

“I’m proud to join NAFA, the leading support organization for fleet professionals, in this capacity,” Martin said. “Both this industry and NAFA itself have shown high levels of innovation and professional integrity. I am certain that will continue to grow, and I’m glad to be a part of it as we reach those new frontiers of service and influence for our membership.”

NAFA’s CEO Phillip E Russo said of Martin: “She is a high-energy, ‘can do’ leader, and will be a great resource for NAFA.”

Ms Martin will succeed COO James R Marks, who was a key figure in steering NAFA’s reorganisation process in 2014. Mr Marks will conclude his time with NAFA at the end of July. NAFA added that it thanks James Marks for his time, experience, and energy.
