Holland, whose company Fleet Advantage hosted an Academy for Lease & Finance Professionals in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, in February stated, “I pursued the CLFP designation to set an example for others in our company and to demonstrate that our executive management team believed it was important. The CLFP designation is recognition of the recipient’s knowledge and experience and earns one the right to be included in a select group of professionals – enhancing the recipient’s reputation and stature in the industry.”

The CLFP designation identifies an individual as a knowledgeable professional to employers, clients, customers, and peers in the equipment finance industry. There are currently 901 active Certified Lease & Finance Professionals and Associates in the United States, Canada, India and Australia.
