CAFM Office Hours: Asset Management with Tim Coxwell (November 2026)
2026-11-18 12:00 - 13:00 (America/New_York)
The notion of “office hours” traces its roots back to an academic tradition. During this designated time, students were aware that they could visit a professor’s office to seek advice, discuss ideas, tackle challenges, and find solutions with the guidance of an expert. Now, you have the opportunity to benefit from Office Hours as well!  Rather than meeting with professors, you’ll have the chance to connect with a busy, knowledgeable, well-connected CAFM who has dedicated time specifically for you and your fellow candidates. As you aspire to attain your CAFM, your Office Hours Host is here to assist.

In this session, our faculty will:
• showcase his career journey and experiences
• teach a 30-minute insider lesson on one competency – Asset Management
• share their favorite test taking pro-tip
• engage in open dialogue to answer your questions

Meet Your Host: Tim Coxwell, CAFM, serves as Fleet Director for the Leon County Sheriff’s Office in Tallahassee, Florida, a role he has held since 2013. He oversees a fleet of 576 vehicles and leads a team of six technicians, fostering collaboration between Fleet Customers and Staff to achieve the agency’s sustainability goals. Tim credits his CAFM certification as a cornerstone in transforming and strengthening his fleet operations.

Risk Management Online Certificate Program (2026)
2026-12-01 13:00 - 2026-12-03 15:00
Risk Management is a form of planning and decision-making dealing with uncertain events as well as controlling risks before they become a problem. While insurance is commonly associated with risk management, it is not possible or practical to insure against every situation; hence, risk management provides additional strategies for dealing with loss.
Through three live virtual sessions, participants will be able to engage in instructor-led lessons, question and answer sessions, and have access to a knowledgeable expert. Upon conclusion of the three-part course, participants will gain access to the Risk Management Certificate program exam, a 50-question multiple-choice test that can be taken anytime, anywhere (system requirements apply). Those who successfully pass the exam (one year from date of purchase) will be awarded a professional certificate.
This course will cover the discipline’s competencies including:

Fundamentals of Risk Management
Insurance
Fleet Safety Policies
Fleet Safety Programs
Crash Management

Course inclusions: NAFA’s Risk Management e-Guidebook, Risk Management Study Guide, (3) 2-hour live sessions, (1) Online Risk Management Certificate exam, and a Professional Certificate – upon successful passing of exam (optional)
