As an industry leader, it is only natural that I become a CLFP - one leader supporting another leader. I'm so impressed, and I believe so much in the CLFP that I'm encouraging every employee of Ivory Consulting to become a CLFP.  

Scott Thacker, CEO at Ivory Consulting Corporation and Vice Chair of the Equipment Leasing and Finance Foundation also added, “As a leader in the equipment finance industry, I believe one of my roles is to demonstrate my knowledge and support of the industry. Encouraging others to showcase their knowledge by studying for and passing the CLFP exam will not only strengthen the caliber of the people working in the industry, but will make it an attractive career option for others.

The CLFP designation identifies an individual as a knowledgeable professional to employers, clients, customers, and peers in the equipment finance industry.
