I attended the annual National Association of Equipment Lease Brokers (NAELB) convention in Denver last week with great enthusiasm among attendees. Of the eight meetings I had with company representatives, all eight expressed optimism about increased equipment leasing — with everyone’s Q1 activity substantially higher than Q1 of last year. We continue to be busy executing lease agreements for clients and are excited to see what the remaining quarters of 2012 will bring.

Just back from the Equipment Leasing and Finance Association (ELFA) funding conference in Chicago where optimism was in the air. Conference attendance was up 20% over last year and the overall mood was upbeat. Conversation centered around deal flow and increased lending activity.
I’m off to the National Association of Equipment Leasing Brokers (NAELB) conference on Thursday right here in Denver and look forward to more positive discussion about the growth in the industry.
