WIFM Opens Fleet Management Mentorship Sign-Ups Ahead of July 1 Deadline

Women in Fleet Management (WIFM) has opened sign-ups for its latest mentorship round, giving corporate fleet professionals a chance to join a pairing based on their identified areas of focus. Applications are due by July 1. AFLA members are welcome to participate, and nonmembers can sign up as mentees for an annual cost of $100.

Pairings start with areas of focus

WIFM says it matches mentors and mentees according to areas the participants identify. The notice does not list those focus areas or explain how participants are matched, so people considering the program will need to use the sign-up form for the available choices and details.

That focus based approach gives participants a way to express what they hope to get from the connection before pairings are made. For fleet professionals, useful mentoring topics can depend on a person’s role, experience and current work priorities. A participant may be looking for guidance on a specific career question or a broader exchange about working in corporate fleet management. The program’s sign-up process is where applicants can indicate their interests; the published notice does not promise a particular type or frequency of contact.

For prospective mentors, the same matching principle makes it useful to consider which subjects they are prepared to discuss. A clear focus can help both people understand the intended scope of a mentoring connection from the start. The notice does not provide eligibility criteria for mentors, a schedule, or information about how long pairings last, so those details should be checked during sign-up.

Participation is open to AFLA members and nonmembers

All AFLA members are encouraged to take part. Corporate fleet professionals who are not AFLA members can join WIFM’s program as mentees for $100 per year. The listed access period runs through June 30, 2026. The notice describes the nonmember option for mentees and does not state that nonmembers can register as mentors.

This gives prospective mentees a route into the program without an active AFLA membership. The fee and access end date are practical details to weigh before submitting a form, particularly for people deciding whether the timing fits their work plans. The notice does not specify payment instructions, refund terms or whether the fee covers any other WIFM activities, so applicants should rely on the program’s sign-up information for those points.

The notice also invites participants to share the opportunity with a colleague. That invitation could help connect fleet professionals who would otherwise miss the sign-up window, especially colleagues who may be interested in mentoring or seeking guidance in a particular area. A colleague still needs to review the program information and complete the appropriate sign-up steps for their intended role.

Submit interest by July 1

WIFM asks interested professionals to sign up before the July 1 deadline. The source does not specify a year for that date, so applicants should check the form to confirm the current registration period and any additional instructions. Registration is available through the WIFM sign-up form.

For a colleague who may want to participate, WIFM provides an invitation link. Before applying, prospective participants can identify the areas they would like to discuss and check whether they are registering as a mentor or mentee. Non-AFLA members considering the mentee option should also account for the $100 annual cost and the stated June 30, 2026 access end date.

For fleet teams, mentoring can create a structured opportunity for colleagues to exchange experience around the work and careers they share. The value of a pairing depends on the participants’ goals and the conversations they build, and the published details leave those arrangements to the program and its participants. The immediate step for anyone interested is to review the form, choose the relevant participation path and submit before the stated deadline.
