Dear Federal Fleet Professional,

On behalf of the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), welcome to FedFleet 2021.

Every year, FedFleet is a unique, educational experience that gathers fleet management and automotive procurement professionals for a week of training. FedFleet is a chance to collaborate and share what is happening in fleet management. While this year’s digital format is different than usual, I’m glad that we still have this chance to interact directly with you, our valued customers.

This year, FedFleet is offering 25 different training sessions. The conference will begin with the New Fleet Manager Training which always provides great resources and information for individuals who are new to the fleet manager role. We know that electrification is on everyone’s mind, so throughout the week we have sessions on everything from charging stations to electric vehicle suitability. At the end of the training event, please also join us for closing remarks by Gina McCarthy, the White House National Climate Advisor, Katy Kale, GSA’s Acting Administrator, and Charlotte Phelan, GSA’s Assistant Commissioner for Travel, Transportation, and Logistics.

I want to thank our industry and agency partners for their continued dedication to FedFleet. Throughout the week, we have speakers and panelists from various offices in GSA, the U.S. Department of Energy, and nine other Federal agencies. We will also hear from several industry experts throughout the training event. This cross-industry collaboration provides a great opportunity to learn and discuss federal fleet topics.

Over the next several days, we have a great series of training sessions planned, and I encourage you to take advantage of them and attend as many as you can. Whether you are interested in learning more about electrifying your fleet or understanding federal fleet policy, all of the session leaders are ready to walk you through the different topics and answer any questions you may have.

I hope you find this year’s event beneficial and I look forward to seeing you in the training sessions.

Sincerely,

William A. Toth, Jr. DirectorGSA Fleet
