NAELB Best Practices Broker Status Ô In 2008, the National Association of Equipment Lease Brokers (NAELB) launched an ethics certification program. Ms. Stoddard was one of the first people to apply for and pass the exam on her first attempt.

The NAELB offers this certification for their members in good standing, of at least two years. The designation recognizes one’s ability to apply the Code of Ethics to everyday business practices. Though the certification process, we display that we have demonstrated our ability to apply the Code to general business practices in situations that we may face during our daily business operations. Those passing the Ethics exam have earned the right to utilize the “NAELB Best Practices BrokerÔ” certification that is licensed by the NAELB.
