“This designation is an amazingly unique opportunity to become a part of dignified group of professionals. There is a small number who have the honor to be able to say that. This designation will be the key for me to continue to climb in my career,” Cullity, who also participated in an Academy for Lease & Finance Professionals prior to taking the exam, said. “There are certain moments in life that come only once, and if you do not act on it, it is lost to time. I am so thankful I was able to grab onto this when it was presented to me. I will carry this for my life. On a personal level, I would like to say thank you to the CLFP Foundation. Everyone has been the kindest and most willing to assist. I haven’t taken a course or test in many years; I was able to build myself up with the great notes and support provided. It means the absolute world to me.”
