1. NAFA 100 Best Fleets 

Celebrating its 20th anniversary, the NAFA 100 Best Fleets recognizes outstanding performance in fleet management. 

Rush Akin, Chief Revenue Officer at RoadFlex, supported and sponsored the program early on for many years. He believes that the 100 Best Fleets program has been instrumental in setting benchmarks of excellence for the fleet management industry

Akin, also serving as a judge for this year's applications, expressed his excitement about RoadFlex's involvement: "RoadFlex's sponsorship not only enhances our ability to honor top fleets but also reflects our shared values of innovation and excellence." 2. 

2. Tom Johnson Award 

The Tom Johnson Award, named in honor of the late Tom Johnson, a beloved figure in the fleet community and a close friend of Rush Akin, celebrates individuals who exemplify commitment and innovation in fleet management. 

Akin, recalling his extensive travels with Johnson to various trade shows, is set to play a significant role in the awards ceremonies. "Tom was a visionary in our field, and it's fitting that RoadFlex, a company that embodies forward-thinking, supports this tribute," Akin said.

These events, encompassing both in-person and virtual formats, aim to provide vital networking and educational opportunities tailored to the specific needs of each region. 

"Our regional sponsorships are about creating connections and expanding knowledge across the fleet community," noted Mary Akhavan, director of partnerships at RoadFlex.
