The Eastern Association of Equipment Lessors (EAEL) is a non-profit trade association serving its members in the equipment leasing industry. The association is governed by an elected Board of Directors with various committees that administer to its overall operation. Member firms are committed to a philosophy of professionalism and integrity and subscribe to a Code of Ethical Standards as an expression of this commitment. Although EAEL is primarily a northeast regional association, our members are located throughout the United States and Puerto Rico.

The mission of the EAEL is to serve the interests of its members in the equipment leasing industry and to provide educational, professional and networking opportunities by:

• Providing opportunities for the exchange of ideas and information concerning leasing industry management for study, discussion and publication



• Developing efficient methods, procedures and techniques for managing common interests of independent lessors



• Developing and encouraging the practice of high standards of personal and professional conduct among executive serving in the equipment leasing field



• Holding meetings and conferences for the mutual improvement and education of members



• Exchanging and compiling information with respect to all new case law and other legal and legislative developments at state and federal levels which affect the leasing industry



• Collecting and disseminating statistics and other related information helpful to its members including accounting reviews, lease forms and other documentation

Each of these activities substantially contributes to the overall success and accomplishments of the EAEL. They also provide the mechanism for future EAEL activities.
