"There is no better use of your time than brainstorming with your successful peers for better ways to do the business of Government."
John Hunt,
2005 Government Fleet Manager of the Year
Portland, Oregon


"It was worth the 3 hour drive. We got one idea that saved us $20,000 immediately."

This is a once-only opportunity to learn from your peers and six of the top fleet minds in the country in a new "brainstorming" format. In addition, see this new state-of-the-art-facility.

John Alley, City of San Diego was named the 2010 Government Fleet Manager of the year by Government Fleet magazine and manages one of the top 20 of The 100 Best Fleets in North America. One of the reasons is that he was able to save the city $11 million dollars in one year. Find out what BPR is and how you can apply the same principles to your operation for substantial improvements immediately.

National Joint Powers Alliance is a new way of doing business for government to fund replacements and eliminate RFPs. But is it cost effective? Two case studies that are pending will be presented by MEMA members on cost comparisons and effectiveness. How you leverage $25,000 into $125,000 for replacements will be discussed as well as the elimination of the RFP process for your major purchases. RFPs cost a minimum of $5000 dollars. Why would you do them anymore?

Sacramento was named #21 in The 100 Best Fleets in North America, setting an example of how California could work with the same enlightened leadership. Keith Leech, Fleet Manager, will present a ROI he uses to justify investments in technology as well as his best fleet practices. The statistician Sacramento used, Jon Tegtmeier from Huntsville, AL will be present to explain this new business model for data driven decisions. Keith was rated one of the top presenters at a recent fleet conference.

A tour of the facility by Rick Longobart including his 90-day priorities for Santa Ana. Rick was the runner up for the 2009 Government Fleet Manager of the year; he received the NAFA Green award and special recognition for "visionary leadership" from Government Fleet magazine at the GFX in June because of his many contributions to the industry. Rick has keynoted or led five national fleet conferences this year.

Frank Morgan from the city of Fremont is recognized as one of the best turnaround experts in the country. He shepherded two different fleets into The 100 Best Fleets. He will discuss how he saved millions of dollars in increased efficiencies -- and how you can do it, too. Frank has keynoted many national fleet conferences and is considered one of the best fleet minds in the country. Nobody presents new, fresh thinking like Frank Morgan.
