The National Equipment Finance Association is holding a summer membership drive as it seeks independent equipment finance companies looking to build their balance sheets. The NEFA’s goal is to add at least 50 new broker/lessor companies by the end of the year.

The NEFA offers an environment to learn, develop and foster business partnerships. Currently, prorated dues are in effect. To become a member, complete the association’s membership application or email Hannah Kroll, director of membership at the NEFA.

NEFA members can refer a new member company for a chance to win a free pass to the association’s Fall Funding Symposium or refer five new companies and automatically receive a free conference pass. Referrals must join the NEFA to count.
