Alyssa Pantoja attended the Wintrust ALFP in August and shares, “The primary reason I chose to pursue the designation of CLFP was to challenge myself. To educate yourself in all aspects of the industry you work in is a great undertaking but such an accomplished feeling once you are on the other side. I can feel confident looking into any sect of our company’s operations and feel like I have a base level of knowledge to approach it with. Knowledge truly is power, and I am excited to have a strong backing of knowledge behind me as I further pursue my career in Equipment Leasing.”

The CLFP designation identifies an individual as a knowledgeable professional to employers, clients, customers, and peers in the commercial equipment finance industry. There are Certified Lease & Finance Professionals and Associates located throughout the United States (including Puerto Rico), Canada, India, Pakistan, Africa, and Australia.
