Economic and Business Development to Rural Areas Essential:

Clinton Global Initiative Brings Native American Focus to the World 

 

October 28, 2008 Rapid City, SD // Investing in rural development around
the world is not only good charity, it can be a good business investment
that will prevent a future economic crisis, according to a panel of
development experts at the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) Annual
Meeting. The panel included the head of the First Nations Oweesta
Corporation (Oweesta).

 

The impact of successful economic development in rural areas is
exemplified by the utilization of community development financial
institutions (CDFIs) in Native communities, Elsie Meeks, President and
CEO of Oweesta, told attendees and fellow panelists, which included
micro-finance pioneer and 2006 Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus.
