Join Claudia, Shufina and Heidi in Washington, DC from May 2-4 for the most important microenterprise conference of the year: AEO’s 20th National Microenterprise Conference. Hundreds of other leaders from the non-profit, corporate and social investment sectors will gather for three days of dialogue, networking and learning in the heart of our nation’s capital. Senior Administration officials and legislators will participate throughout the conference. It has neve rbeen more important to demonstrate our strong, national constituency to enable us to score critical policy wins to keep vital programs and loan dollars available to your organization.
AEO is a national member organization that represents the interests of small, typically under-served, entrepreneurs throughout the United States. Hundreds of your peers in “state” and across the country are active in AEO. AEO works with us and similar organizations around the country to shape national policy, secure funding from national sources and share best practices.
