ELFA Leadership

The Equipment Leasing and Finance Association (ELFA) is the premier trade association for the $628 billion U.S. equipment finance sector.  It has more than 550 member companies, including the nation's largest independent equipment leasing companies, public finance companies, captive equipment leasing companies, and commercial banks. 

 

 

 

First American's CEO, William Verhelle, was elected by his peers to serve as Chairman of the ELFA in 2008.  Bill Verhelle addressed ELFA membership in the Report of ELFA Chairman.  The letter, which began the organization's annual report, discussed the unprecedented changes taking place in the U.S. equipment finance market.  It also addressed the importance of trade associations during periods of transition, the current mission of the ELFA, and future initiatives of the organization.
