CLFP Foundation Names Cindy Spurdle Award of Excellence and Lifetime Member Award Winners



The Certified Lease & Finance Professional (CLFP) Foundation designated the Cindy Spurdle Award of Excellence to Leonard Lane, CLFP, senior vice president of product management at Odessa.

“I’d toyed with pursuing the CLFP designation for several years (I have every edition of the CLFP Handbook from the sixth edition onward!). But in 2020, I realized how much value and credibility being a CLFP would add to my role at Odessa,” Lane said. “Besides investing 20 years in developing Odessa’s product and platform, I believe my most significant contribution to our industry is through my CLFP volunteer work. Hands down, my favorite part of being involved with the CLFP Foundation is teaching classes. It’s a great opportunity to help candidates prepare for the Exam and introduce our industry to the next generation.”

Lane serves as an instructor for multiple Academies for Lease & Finance Professionals (ALFPs) and is involved with Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). “I am very honored to receive this award, and I am grateful to Reid, Mel and the board of directors for the many opportunities they’ve opened for me to give back to the industry that’s been so good to me for 32 years now,” Lane said. “Thank you!”

Nancy Geary, CLFP and Steve Crane, CLFP were honored with Lifetime Member Awards.
