"Thank you for coordinating an excellent conference.

All the presentations were very professional with pertinent information that will be useful to the City of Asheville’s fleet organization in future AFV endeavors.

I especially enjoyed Dr. Mark Quarto’s presentation on the future of vehicle propulsion systems. Also, his thoughts raising the awareness of the lack of technician career training.  Dean Cordle’s, Constructing a Biodiesel Facility; he gave great hands on experience and the importance of qualified, quality biodiesel. Conference staff did and amazing job filling in backup speakers on such short notice.

Three of the City’s fleet technical staff attended the First Responder Safety Training: Hybrid Electric Vehicles Workshop. They came back with very positive experiences gaining knowledge about the hybrid-electric systems that they can use in their jobs.

The facility, meals and refreshments were first class with the Biltmore Tour a special treat.

Overall, a very well planned informative conference. I would definitely attend a future conference.

Thanks,"
