Bob Baker, CLP, Loyalty
July 10, 2000 was the start of the Leasing News Advisory Board. Bob is one of the original founders, perhaps our most outstanding supporter, as he has not only been through the thick and thin, but is the person who gives encouragement all the time, by telephone, by e-mail, even notes. He has given great encouragement throughout; always positive, enthusiastic, a “tell it like it is” personality. He has brought in a number of members over the years to the National Association of Leasing Brokers and the United Association of Equipment Leasing, plus contributing his time to the growth of the industry, including the Certified Leasing Professional program. He has done this through health and family tragedy, never giving up. If you can count someone on your side, it is Bob. He certainly has been there for Leasing News.
