  This event is the largest national gathering and exhibition of community non-profits, small business, policymakers, government, media, and academia—all focused on how to create a new economic framework to improve the lives of American families, our workers, our seniors, our children and our environment, while strengthening global access to credit and capital. This expansion will require bold, forward-looking action from community reinvestment leaders like you.

  Plenary sessions, workshops and networking events will feature proven examples of how we can help those communities hardest hit by the foreclosure crisis, and address widespread unemployment. Members will also travel to Capitol Hill to urge policymakers to invest in our communities. The conference will feature networking and celebratory events to commemorate NCRC’s 20th anniversary, as well as innovative workshops and state-of-the-art training to enhance the strong grassroots network we are building to reform nations financial system.
