NAFTC Recognizes Two New Members

The NAFTC is proud to recognize its two newest National Training Centers: Madison Area Technical College, located in Madison, Wisconsin, and Northern Virginia Community College, located in Alexandria, Virginia. Both schools were presented with their member plaques at the February Business Meeting held in Washington, D.C.

“I'd like to welcome our two new members, Madison Area Technical College and Northern Virginia Community College, to the NAFTC,” said NAFTC Executive Director Al Ebron. “Their presence strengthens the Consortium and helps advance knowledge about alternative fuel and advanced technology vehicles across the country.”
