We are eager to share that we have partnered with the University of North Texas G. Brint Ryan College of Business and the Equipment Leasing & Finance Foundation to launch a new Commercial Equipment Finance course in spring 2025, the first of its kind.

We’re excited to see this groundbreaking program bring the world of equipment finance and academia together, providing students with real-world insights and hands-on experience in this industry we all know and love. It’s a tremendous opportunity to shape the next generation of professionals in the equipment finance industry! Read more about this positive partnership here: https://buff.ly/4dWm7Ad We are extraordinarily grateful to Michael P. Gallo, B.Fin., M.Fin., J.D. for paving the way for this course, and to UNT and ELFF for this outstanding opportunity to collaborate and build a better equipment finance industry together. We are proud of Reid Raykovich, CLFP, CAE for leading a stellar presentation and sharing the benefits of continued knowledge and the world of equipment leasing with students this week.
