[CircleUp] Native CDFI Network Call: Native Programming for OFN Conference

[Heidi Davis]

Dear Members and Subscribers,

 

In 2010, the Native CDFI Network (NCN) launched its NCN Call Initiative, which consists of six hour-long calls scheduled throughout year.   These calls are designed to gather together our national network of professionals to generate rich dialogue and sound policy solutions.  Our upcoming call on March 25th is an exciting opportunity to help guide the development of the 2010 Opportunity Finance Network (OFN) Conference so that it can focus on providing the tools and information most needed for Native CDFIs and professionals around the country.

 

Please join us to help guide the development of the OFN Conference's Native programming:

About NCN

The Native CDFI Network (NCN) was formed in 2009 to unify Native CDFIs serving Native trust land communities, American Indians, Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiians.  NCN seeks to create opportunities to share best practices among its members, identify collective priorities, and strengthen the CDFI industry and movement to ensure that Native peoples are represented both in the national dialogue and in the policy solutions created by CDFIs.
