Here within NETS we have exciting news to share announcing the addition of State Farm to the NETS Board of Directors. This is a notable development and one which will further strengthen NETS mission of reducing risk and saving lives on the nation’s and global roadways. State Farm is a well-recognized brand that has a long history as a safety pioneer through their efforts to protect customers and communities from the risks of everyday life at home and on the road.

Speaking of NETS Board of Directors, one of the key aspects the Board brings to the organization is the planning and shaping of the agenda for our highly regarded annual Strength IN Numbers ® Benchmark Conference. As many of you know, this year we are planning TWO conference events – the Latin America Regional Conference September 21-22^nd, followed by the annual conference October 19-21^st. Behind the scenes planning for both of these events is moving along nicely with keynote speakers, as well as several plenary and sponsor-supported speakers, to be announced shortly. 

In addition, senior leaders from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) have also been confirmed to present at the annual conference. Registration is open now and I encourage you and your fellow colleagues to lock in your spot at this once a year “can’t miss” event dedicated exclusively to road safety.

On a final note, NETS will once again be pulling together several industry sectors to share their best practices and road safety SOLUTIONS as an opportunity to learn about sector-specific road safety perspectives relevant to ALL employer fleets from industry leaders. Sector meetings are expected to take place the week of October 25^th representing Agriculture, Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGV), Insurance, and Utility. Stay tuned for further details and session agendas in the coming weeks.

Mobile device distractions put employees in danger and companies at risk. So why would anyone settle for safety measures that simply report what went wrong, or only work when people remember to turn them on? TRUCE Software automatically suspends distracting mobile apps and functions depending on what your employee is doing, where they are working or even the workgroup they are part of. You define the policy and TRUCE ensures compliance when and where it’s needed.
