On Aug. 20, almost 250 Certified Lease & Finance Professionals (CLFPs) and Associates across the globe gathered to celebrate their designation. Due to COVID-19, the event was changed from several local gatherings to one 15-minute Zoom “Cheers” call.

During this call, Executive Director Reid Raykovich, CLFP, and Board President Kevin Prykull, CLFP, facilitated the event and showcased the accomplishments of the Certified Lease & Finance Professional Foundation; highlighted the pivot to online ALFPs and test-taking; and recognized the many contributions of the Foundation membership.

Deb Reuben, CLFP, stated, “It was such a blast to see so many familiar faces after being apart for so long. What a great opportunity to reconnect and celebrate together. Congrats CLFP Foundation.”

Prykull added, “CLFP Day recognized the superb contributions of the foundation and its members who serve our industry in a very professional way. This is especially important during these difficult times.  A win-win event for all who attended!"

The CLFP designation identifies an individual as a knowledgeable professional to employers, clients, customers, and peers in the commercial equipment finance industry. There are currently 928 active Certified Lease & Finance Professionals and Associates throughout the United States, Canada, India, and Australia.
