Day 2 at the Small Business Finance Forum was all about bold ideas and transformative action. We kicked off with an inspiring Opening Plenary, featuring remarks from Gustavo Lasala of @PeopleFund, Mayor @KirkPWatson, and OFN President and CEO @HaroldPettigrew.
It's the 30th anniversary of the signing of the legislation that funded US Treasury’s CDFI Fund, which plays a vital role in supporting our work to generate economic growth and opportunity across NYS. #NYSCDFIs#MakingItPossible https://t.co/rfHvGxF58T

When your phone shows "No Caller ID" on a Saturday afternoon you don't expect it to be @SenSchumer! He called to see if the NYS CDFI Coalition had any questions about the COVID-19 Relief Bill! He's continuing to fight hard for CDFIs and our role as financial first responders. 1/2
