Commercial Sounding Board

What is The Commercial Sounding Board?

The mission of the GM Commercial Sounding Board is to create a forum for Commercial Fleet Professionals and GM Fleet and Commercial management to candidly discuss all issues of importance to the entire fleet industry.


Objectives of the Commercial Sounding Board include:

1. Providing members opportunities to evaluate and provide feedback on current and future commercial vehicle products

2. Actively reach out to other GM customers and serve as a conduit for surfacing issues to GM FCO.

3. Identify and share industry best practices with other members and GM.
