Our theme throughout the year has been: Unmasking Economic Justice for Small Business Recovery. We will be exploring this theme from different angles of lending, including innovations in equitable lending, fostering support from accessing capital, and more.
Get ready for a fire site chat with our very own Carolina Martinez, CEO of CAMEO on reaching underserved entrepreneurs with more capital. The Federal Reserve will present new California data from the Small Business Credit Survey, how it looks compared to national trends, and we’ll discuss how that might affect how lenders react. After lunch, we’ll have a panel discussion on innovations in equitable lending, a member showcase, raffle prizes from your clients and more.
