We’re thrilled to announce that we are officially launching the Canadian Certified Lease & Finance Professional (CCLFP) designation! The CCLFP upholds the same high standards of professionalism and integrity as the CLFP, but is tailored specifically for the Canadian market.

It's been a fun week in Minnesota leading two ALFP classes and supporting multiple CLFP candidates. We are grateful to Oakmont Capital Services for hosting our second class of the week, and look forward to seeing many new CLFPs joining the community soon.

The countdown is on! CLFP Day 2025 is right around the corner on Wednesday, October 8th. We’re two weeks out from honoring the knowledge, dedication, and community that define the CLFP designation. Save the date - you won’t want to miss it!

We are excited to be back in Minnesota this week with Stearns Bank! Working through the CLFP Body of Knowledge as a team builds strength, unity, and understanding of the industry each and every time. We can't wait to welcome everyone as new CLFPs very soon!

Since 1985, the CLFP community has been building a stronger network of equipment finance professionals. To partner with the CLFP Foundation, and support the future of the equipment finance industry, please join us here: buff.ly/Tss6h50

We invite you to listen to two Fireside Chats from Reid & Mel and celebrate the the growth of the CLFP designation, the Foundation and our community. 🎙️ Listen to Reid’s Fireside Chat here: buff.ly/OwnOVkH 🎙️ Listen to Mel’s Fireside Chat here: buff.ly/wgJ5tU3

Save the Date: CLFP Day is Almost Here! We’re just 3 weeks away from celebrating CLFP Day 2025 and our 40th anniversary of the designation on Wednesday, October 8th! Mark your calendars, because we can’t wait to celebrate together!

Community is at the core of the CLFP designation and our membership. At AACFB's Commercial Financing Expo in Austin this week, it’s clear how much strength comes from being surrounded by peers who support, encourage, and inspire one another.

What an incredible week it's been so far at the ELFA Innovation Lab + Lease & Accountants Conferences! We are grateful for the opportunity to see so many CLFPs this week and look forward to continuing the momentum through the rest of the conference and beyond!
