Native CDFIs Hold First Policy Summit in Washington D.C.
The Native CDFI Network (NCN) is holding its first annual Policy Summit this week in Washington, D.C., from November 19-21. At the Summit, Native American-serving community development financial institutions (NCDFIs) will set policy priorities and then meet directly with Congress to advocate for strategies to help grow Native economies.
“The Policy Summit is where leaders in the Native American-serving community development financial institutions movement will meet to set the advocacy agenda for 2020 and beyond,” said Native CDFI Network Policy Chairperson Robin Danner of the Homestead Loan Fund of Hawaii. “Native American-serving community development financial institutions are creating jobs and growing assets all across the country, and Congress can help accelerate this growth. We invite anyone interested in advancing the Native American-serving community development financial institutions movement to attend.”
Speakers include Native American Congresswomen Deb Haaland and Sharice Davids, Maurice Jones of LISC, Marietta Rodriguez of NeighborWorks America, Marion McFadden of Enterprise, Kevin Allis of the National Congress of American Indians, and Dante Desiderio of the Native American Finance Officers Association.
On-site registration is available until November 20.
