Microlenders Forum Recap
Last week CAMEO hosted our annual Microlenders Forum 2022 in person! More than 70 small business lenders explored our theme for this year, “Unmasking Economic Justice for Small Business Recovery” from different angles, including innovations in equitable lending, fostering support for accessing capital, and more.
A recap of the rich content and accompanying resources (including a recording) can be found on our blog post “Unmasking Economic Justice for Small Business Recovery.”
