Weltman, Weinberg & Reis Co., LPA, a full-service creditors' rights law firm, announce Director of Business Development Robert J. Hanna has been selected as conference chair for the upcoming National Equipment Finance Association (NEFA) Fall Funding Symposium.

“For more than a decade, Weltman has been an active member and avid supporter of NEFA, as our firm believes that NEFA is a top-tier organization serving the equipment finance industry,” Hanna saidd. “On a personal level, I am thrilled to have been asked to help ensure the success of this year’s Funding Symposium. I look forward to connecting with friends old and new within our industry and to the knowledge-sharing that allows us all to succeed collectively.”

With more than 35 years of business development experience – the last 15 of which have been with Weltman – Mr. Hanna’s role at the firm includes pursuing new business opportunities, building upon established client relationships, and promoting the firm on a national scale.

“The common denominator throughout my career has been my dedication to the financial services market, my commitment to exceeding client expectations and my proven success in making the impossible possible,” Hanna said.

Weltman has been a member of NEFA since 2007, when it was known as the United Association of Equipment Leasing (UAEL) before merging with the Eastern Association of Equipment Lessors (EAEL).

NEFA’s 2018 Funding Symposium takes place Oct. 3–5 at the Marriott City Center in Charlotte, NC. NEFA promotes the Symposium as the industry’s “premier networking and education event for active and engaged equipment finance professionals.” For more information, visit nefassociation.org.
