In this Must Know…
- Happy Thanksgiving!
- Upcoming CAMEO Events
- This week’s Goodie Highlight is Consumer Reports’ letter of support for CFPB’s Credit Card Late Fee Rule, which would lower late payment fees for most credit cards. The deadline to sign is next Monday, November 27, 2023.
It’s been an exciting year here at CAMEO – we officially launched the National CDFI Academy, held our first-ever CAMEO Summit, sponsored two major bills that were signed into law which protect small business borrowers, and more.
We couldn’t have done it without you, our members. So we want to express our deep gratitude for being part of our network, participating in our programs, and advocating alongside us to strengthen the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Most of all, we thank you for working day-in and day-out on behalf of micro and small businesses and their communities.
We hope you have a wonderful holiday full of rest, good food, and joyful conversations.
Sincerely,
The CAMEO team
Carolina, Daniela, Emily, Heidi, Joan, and Liza
