NEFA said that Lynne Wicker, national remarketing manager of RTR Services, has been named chairperson of the 2012 National Equipment Finance Summit to be held in San Diego March 22-24, 2012.

“Lynne is an active member of the National Equipment Finance Association who is widely known and respected by equipment finance professionals across the country,” said Gerry Egan, executive director of NEFA, in making the announcement. “She’s been involved in planning other events for us and is a great choice as Chairperson of this popular, early spring event.

The summit attracts NEFA members and other industry professionals from across the U.S. and Canada for educational programs as well as to meet with exhibitors from suppliers and funding sources, participate in industry discussions, make industry networking connections and enjoy social events.

“I’m excited to be the chairperson of the 2012 Summit,” said Wicker. “We’ve chosen a beautiful location at a great time of year and we’re putting together a high-value program of presentations. We’ll have programs for brokers who are interested in transitioning to lessors as well as topics geared toward more experienced, larger companies. But with all there is to do in and around San Diego, especially at the end of winter, my real challenge,” she said, “will be to keep people thinking about equipment financing!”

Registration for the 2012 National Equipment Finance Summit will be open immediately following the holidays. For more information about the summit click here.
