Join CAMEO’s National CDFI Academy for an in-depth session exploring the history and current state of non-traditional lending in the United States. We’ll discuss how these themes influence CDFIs and the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA). You’ll learn what is a CDFI and why CDFIs are important in our community. This is a perfect opportunity for your new staff and new board members to learn about our impactful industry. You will also gain insights into the CDFI industry today, including the types of work being done, and learn how to define and differentiate CDFIs.
