NAFA Fleet Management Association Announces 2026 Class of Fellows

The NAFA Fleet Management Association, the vehicle fleet industry’s largest membership association, has officially announced its 2026 Class of NAFA Fellows.

This high-level designation recognizes five outstanding professionals whose long-term leadership, volunteer service, and strategic contributions have made a significant impact on both the association and the broader development of the fleet management profession across North America.

The 2026 honorary cohort represents over a century of combined expertise in complex asset management. The inductees include Clyde “Dale” Collins, Fleet Maintenance Supervisor at Prince William Water, recognized for his extensive committee leadership, and Patti Earley, Fleet Fuel Manager at Florida Power & Light, a past NAFA President celebrated for advancing professional industry certifications. Also named to the class are Bryan Flansburg, Location Manager at First Student, who brings 40 years of commercial transportation experience, and Bob Mossing, Global Fleet Safety Manager at Diebold Nixdorf Inc., who serves as a primary advocate for fleet safety and government affairs. Cedric Roberts, Director of Fleet Management for the City of Birmingham, completes the group for his targeted focus on fleet sustainability and workforce development.

“These five professionals reflect the leadership, service, and commitment that define the NAFA Fellows Program,” said Ray Brisby, past NAFA Board President and Chair of the Fellows Selection Committee. “Their contributions to NAFA and the fleet profession have helped strengthen our industry, and we are proud to recognize them as the 2026 Class of NAFA Fellows.” The program stands as one of the organization's highest honors, serving as both a benchmark for extraordinary career achievement and a mandate for ongoing mentorship within the regional fleet logistics network.
