Video Summary

NAFA’s 2027 100 Best Fleets public contest kickoff webinar explained the application process and the 12 criteria used to recognize excellence in public fleets. Lead judge Mike Brennan emphasized that the application guide has been updated and applicants should download and review the latest version.<br /><br />This year, criterion responses allow up to 500 characters, with a new table for fleet metrics under accountability. Applicants should clearly describe current operations in each criterion and use the 4,000-character essay to explain current or ongoing improvement initiatives. Judges value specific metrics, concise writing, clear formatting, and evidence of progress. Applicants should involve colleagues in preparing and reviewing submissions, avoid duplicating responses, and carefully check any AI-generated text.<br /><br />The webinar also covered nominations for Fleet Technician of the Year and Fleet Professional of the Year, encouraging peer selection and supporting materials such as headshots and agency logos.<br /><br />Applications open immediately and are due January 15. Winners will be announced at NAFA’s Institute and Expo in Pittsburgh, April 5–7. The presenters encouraged fleets to start early and contact NAFA with questions.
