Eadie Eberhardt participated in the fall DLL ALFP and shared her experience, “I’ve been in the leasing industry for eight years now, focused primarily on finance and accounting functions. I took this course and pursued my certification to broaden my understanding of the leasing industry and specifically the full lifecycle/variations of a deal, to eventually expand into other functional areas of the business. This course has far exceeded my expectations.”
 
MacKenzie Magavern of First American Equipment Finance explained her reason for embarking on the CLFP Journey and shared, “I chose to pursue the CLFP designation to gain a well-rounded understanding of the intricate equipment finance industry. It's easy to get caught up in your own role/department. The CLFP offers a full picture. I have a newfound respect for every role, division, and facet within my own institution and industry wide.”

The CLFP designation identifies an individual as a knowledgeable professional to employers, clients, customers, and peers in the commercial equipment finance industry. There are Certified Lease & Finance Professionals and Associates located throughout the United States (including Puerto Rico), Canada, India, Pakistan, Africa, and Australia.
