The CLFP Foundation has named Candace Reinhart, CLFP, COO/CXO at CoreTech Leasing, the 2022 Cindy Spurdle Award of Excellence Winner.
The Cindy Spurdle Award was created in 2012 to acknowledge the CLFP who has contributed the most to the industry and best represents the CLFP ideals for the year. Nominees are submitted by the CLFP membership, and the final award candidate is voted upon by the entire CLFP Foundation Board of Directors.
“I am overwhelmed at the thought that I could be the 2022 Cindy Spurdle Award of Excellence recipient, especially among a group of such remarkable and well deserving CLFPs,” said Reinhart. “To join the previous 10 award winners is an incredible honor.”
From the beginning of her career in the commercial equipment leasing and finance industry, Reinhart has deliberately set her sights on raising the bar on industry ethics and standards. Reinhart has been a member of the CLFP Foundation Board of Directors since 2021, and currently serves as the Executive Committee Secretary. She has taught future CLFP designees in the Academy for Lease & Finance Professionals for the last five years and has sat on the ELFA Ops and Tech Committee since 2018.
“I cannot express my gratitude enough to the Foundation, the board of directors, and in particular, Reid Raykovich and Deb Reuben — two women who have been an inspiration to me with their passion for positive impact on an industry we all love,” said Reinhart. “To those considering the path to this esteemed designation, I encourage you to take the leap. The principles of the CLFP Foundation, coupled with this quickly growing member group, provide an encouraging look into what positive work we can do together. CLFP brings unparalleled knowledge, ongoing education, and a mission for exceptional standards and expertise.”
"Having CLFP experts on our team enables CoreTech to carry out our mission by keeping our clients’ interests at our core," said Scott McFetters, founder and President of CoreTech Leasing. "With their combined expertise and our team's commitment to unparalleled service and responsiveness, we can truly educate our clients through a culture of trust and shared knowledge to guarantee value at every touchpoint."
As the COO/CXO at CoreTech Leasing, an independent technology and equipment lessor, Candace drives client value to enhance CoreTech's industry leadership position.
