New Foundation Board Takes Their Place

Posted 12/18/07

The Foundation Board of Trustees provides oversight, strategic direction, vision, and, above all, time and energy to ensure the Foundation’s projects and efforts meet industry demand for future-forward, independent, original research.

The Foundation has been fortunate to have leaders from the top of the field participate, and 2008 will be no exception. For the second year, Michael Leichtling, Troutman Sanders LLP, will chair the Foundation board. Joining him on the Executive Committee is Debbie Monossoon, Boston Financial & Equity Corporation who will serve as vice chair; Paul Frechette, Sun Microsystems, Inc., as treasurer; Joe C. Lane as immediate past chair; Ken Bentsen, Equipment Leasing and Finance Association as President of the Foundation; and Ed Groobert, Dykema & Gossett PLLC, as secretary.

New Foundation Trustees include David Fate of AIG Commercial Equipment Finance; Melisa Carter of Key Equipment Finance; and Ed Dahlka of LaSalle National Leasing Corporation. Welcome!

The Foundation also would like recognize and thanks its outgoing board members Dan Dyer of Marlin Leasing Corp., Bob Rinek of Piper Jaffray & Co., and Joe Stewart of Chase Equipment Leasing, who cycled off in 2007.
