What should you be thinking about now to be successful tomorrow? It’s an important question for equipment finance leaders, and this issue of Equipment Leasing & Finance magazine tackles several critical areas:
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion – It is well established that implementing DEI initiatives can give a company a competitive edge in the marketplace. Our cover story, “Forging Common Bonds,” offers helpful resources from the ELFA Equity Committee for advancing DEI at your organization. In addition, industry leaders share a preview of what’s in store at the second annual ELFA Equity Forum, Sept. 13-14 in New Orleans—and why you and your team can’t afford to miss it.
Talent - When it comes to attracting and recruiting diverse new talent, hosting an internship program can offer a strategic advantage. In the story “Find Talent with an Internship Program,” discover tips for hosting internships that will benefit both students and your company, with the help of free tools from the Equipment Leasing & Finance Foundation.
Technology - As technology continues to transform the equipment finance sector, asking the right questions is key. In “Five Tech Questions to Ask Now,” industry thought leaders discuss hot topics to keep your eye on, from AI to ransomware attacks. To learn more about the latest IT trends and solutions facing our industry, we hope you’ll join us at the Operations & Technology Conference, Sept. 11-13 in New Orleans.
Regulations - ELFA has been very active in the federal and state legislative and regulatory arenas this year, and we are focused on helping you prepare for two measures in particular: Section 1071 of Dodd-Frank and new state commercial financing disclosure laws. Get an update on both in this magazine—and see highlights from our successful Capitol Connections program this spring in Washington, D.C.
