Equipment Finance Cares (EFC) held an event last week at Auxilior Capital’s new office in Plymouth Meeting, PA . The event hosted over 50 equipment finance professionals, from 30 different organizations.

“The Auxilior Capital team was an amazing host for our EFC’s second trip to the Northeast,” said Jesse Johnson, founder of Equipment Finance Cares. “A big thank you to all that attended and the continued support of all EFC sponsors.”

The program offered two industry thought leading panels. Lisa Rafter, Publisher and CEO of MonitorDaily, moderated the “Human Side of Leasing” panel that featured: Delroy Stauffer, CLFP - Odessa, Jennifer Martin, CLFP - Key Equipment Finance, Kareem Jernigan - Leasing Associates, and Hollis Bufferd - Star Hill Financial.

The second panel “Best Practices” was moderated by Michael Toglia, Publisher and CEO of Equipment Finance Advisor. The panel featured, Tom Lyle, CLFP - PEAC Solutions, Donnay Yanuzzi - 1st Equipment Finance, Joe Leonard, CLFP - Oakmont Capital Services, and Rene Paradis - Auxilior Capital Partners.

Panel discussions touched on topics such as building company culture, how to manage effective teams, recruiting and retaining younger talent, maintaining corporate culture with a remote workforce, and what the new work environment means to younger professionals.

The foundations that were showcased during the event were: MAGIC Charities, St. Anthony’s Charter School, Love Life Now Foundation, Equipment Lease & Finance Foundation, and the Chris Walker Education Fund.
