COLUMBUS, Ohio--Oct. 25, 2004--Six persons received the OCLC or Ohio Certified Leasing Consultant designation at The Ohio Vehicle Leasing Association's 48th year Fall Leasing Conference here Thursday, Oct. 21.

They were:

All are employed by OVLA member firms.

OCLC was launched by the OVLA in 1997 to provide a cadre of well-trained lease consultants who can, together with their employers, prosper, while separating the professional from the ordinary through the attainment of knowledge and a high standard of conduct.

Those interested in enrolling the four-session, 16-hour educational program should contact The OVLA at 800.369.5633 or ovla@uautolease.com for additional information and the enrollment and registration forms.

Eligible lease consultants, not just from OVLA member firms, can enroll and start the program at anytime, but must complete all four sessions before graduating and receiving an OCLC pin and certificate.

The first session for the Class of 2005, The Basics, will be taught Thursday, Jan. 13, 2005, at Dayton, by Mark VanNest, the owner-president of MotorWerks Inc., Dayton.

VanNest has not only his OCLC designation but the CVLE or Certified Vehicle Lease Executive designation from the National Vehicle Leasing Association. The OVLA is the Ohio chapter of the NVLA.

The other sessions are: #2 The Legal Aspects of Leasing - Federal & Ohio Law; #3 Marketing & Sales, and #4 The Paperwork.
