The Hall of Fame was instituted to recognize fleet industry leaders and pioneers who have contributed significantly to the commercial fleet management profession. Hall of Fame inductees are selected by peers in an online ballot, and were announced at the 2011 AFLA Conference in San Diego, Calif. on September 15.
"In our business, individual accomplishment is really the result of successful teamwork," commented Rappeport. "We work hard at Donlen to create an environment where our employees are engaged, empowered, and excited, which results in consistently meeting our customers' expectations. One of things I am most proud of is the culture we have created here and the significant role it plays in our growth and success. Looking toward the future, I am very excited to have the opportunity to take Donlen to the next level now that we are part of the Hertz family of companies."
Among his many accomplishments, Rappeport's focus on employee and customer satisfaction, corporate social responsibility, and environmental consciousness has put Donlen in the forefront of workplace excellence. Named Executive of the Year at the 2009 American Business Awards, Rappeport was honored for numerous achievements including Donlen's exponential growth during his tenure as CEO. Rappeport's focus extends beyond Donlen to the industry as a whole. In 2010, he was accepted as a member of the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) for spearheading the industry-wide CGI Commitment to Action titled "Commercial Fleet 20-Percent GHG Emissions Reduction." In collaboration with the Environmental Defense Fund, Rappeport has committed significant Donlen resources over the next five years to help companies, vendors, and suppliers reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the fleet industry.
