I believe this certification to be extremely challenging and being able to call myself a CLFP is rewarding and humbling,” shares Nathan Meyer of Huntington National Bank. “I’m eager to gain extensive knowledge in all areas of the leasing world I may not be exposed to on a day-to-day basis. The CLFP is a great way to network with other individuals in the leasing world, continue building relationships, and to bring on new opportunities of growth to my organization.”

The CLFP Foundation recently hit a historic milestone of 1,500 CLFPs, and invited Sharon Pietras (the 1,500th CLFP) to share her experience. She says, “I pursued the CLFP designation because it is highly respected in the equipment and finance industry. Each CLFP professional is held to the highest standards of integrity, commitment, and excellence. As a new member of the CLFP Family, I am so excited to push my career to the next level, so that I can be that helping hand for the next generation of CLFPs.”

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