Dear Friends:
There are many positive things taking place in our industry and at the NAFTC! The last few months at the NAFTC have been major “building” months. We have moved into our new state-of-the-art headquarters building, added new personnel, released new training curricula, and added a new National Training Center to our consortium. However, that’s only part of the excitement. Alternative fuels and advanced technology vehicles are making major headlines on a daily basis. Our training and education programs become more important with each new event and the challenge has energized the team!
This is the first edition of our new monthly NAFTC e-News. We hope you enjoy it!
Al Ebron
NAFTC Executive Director
