WELCOME TO 2017! Here at ELFA headquarters, we’re excited to kick off the New Year and deliver on our value proposition to you. In this issue of Equipment Leasing & Finance, we look at what’s on the horizon for the year ahead to help you anticipate industry trends and position your company for success.
Policy Outlook
This is a critical time for the equipment finance industry. Now that the elections are over and a new administration is moving into Washington, your association is poised and ready to engage policy makers on the Hill, in key regulatory agencies and in state capitals throughout the nation. We are already deep into analysis and modeling of the GOP tax reform blueprint released last year and will continue meeting with members of Congress and staff in the coming weeks to be sure the issues that are important to our industry are addressed in upcoming tax reform deliberations. In addition, the incoming administration and more than a few on the Hill have indicated support for sweeping changes to the Dodd-Frank law.
Be assured that we will be at the table as these important policy matters are debated—and we hope you’ll join us. Learn about how ELFA advocacy protects and preserves your business, and the importance of member involvement in advocacy, in our feature story “We’ve Got Your Back,” on p. 36.
Find out how you can participate in Capitol Connections, our biggest advocacy event of the year, on p. 39.
