2005 NAELB Board of Directors

"NAELB (National Association of Equipment Leasing Brokers) Regional Conference here in Atlanta Nov. 4-5 had about 160 attendees and over 75 were “funders?”. Mostly super brokers pretending to be real funders. Most were looking for B, C and D level credits. They looked like dogs waiting under the table for scraps. Heather Von Bargen announced at Saturday's lunch that we had 695 members so she gave a special deal to join so we were at 702 members when the conference ended.
