  1. Rick D. Longobart A Tale of Two Cities Overcoming Economic Obstacles, While Going Green City of Santa Ana

  2. What you will learn • How practical business practices and solutions have been implemented to overcome today’s economic challenges through environmental solutions. • How fleets can partner with outsource solutions to implement successful strategies using integrated solutions to create a more efficient, effective, and the pursuit of grant funds.

  3. “Think Outside the Box” • You are driving down the road in your car on a wild, stormy night, when you pass by a bus stop that was in an accident and you see three people waiting near the bus: 1. An old lady who looks as if she is about to die. 2. An old friend who once saved your life. 3. The perfect partner you have been dreaming about. Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing that there could only be one passenger in your car? • This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part of a job application. You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus you should save her first. Or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life, and this would be the perfect chance to pay him back. However, you may never be able to find your perfect mate again. 

  4. “Think Outside the Box” • The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble coming up with his answer. He simply answered: 'I would give the car keys to my old friend and let him take the lady to the hospital. I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the partner of my dreams.' Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn thought limitations. Never forget to 'Think Outside of the Box.'
