WELCOME TO 2024! There’s a lot to look forward to this year—and that’s the theme of this issue of Equipment Leasing & Finance Magazine. We’re exploring what’s coming in the year ahead to help you take advantage of opportunities to grow and succeed. Here’s a preview:
- Industry Outlook: The cover story, "Navigating 2024," examines key factors expected to shape equipment finance this year. For more predictions to position your business for success, check out our Top 10 Equipment Acquisition Trends for 2024.

- Asset Management: In preparation for the Equipment Management Conference on March 10-12 in New Orleans, learn what’s new in this critical sector of equipment finance—and how it’s attracting the next generation—in "Equipment Managers Face a Dynamic Landscape in 2024."

Thank you
I'm particularly excited about the year ahead—my first as ELFA President and CEO. Thank you to all the members who have already shown me such a warm welcome. As I embark on a full-scale listening tour of the membership, I'm eager to meet, talk to and learn from as many members as possible.
I want to hear how ELFA can best support you. What's working? Where is there room for improvement? Looking into the future, we want to make sure you have the resources and support so you’re best positioned to take advantage of opportunities for your business. We want to help you win.
This is an exciting time for our association and the equipment finance industry. I look forward to working with the Board of Directors, 2024 Board Chair Rob Boyer—who shares his excitement for the coming year in the story "Rob Boyer Shoots for the Future"—and the team at ELFA.
Please don't hesitate to contact us at ELFA headquarters if you’d like to get more involved with the association or if you have any thoughts or questions about maximizing your membership.
