About this event
Date: Monday, March 23rd
Time: 6pm - 7pm PDT
Join us for a dynamic conversation with people who are thinking differently about how to create change by using affordable credit as a tool to support underserved communities impacted most by COVID-19 in the Puget Sound region.
We'll be asking big questions like:
1) What does it mean to be resilient in times of uncertainty?
2) How can we collectively prioritize humanity?
3) How can affordable credit play a role as a tool to support people and businesses?
We will explore the importance of affordable credit, examples of affordable loans developed in partnership with nonprofits, and ways that community members can get involved:
- Alexandra Holien, Director of Strategic Partnerships, Ada Developers Academy
- Eric Holzapfel, Steering Committee, Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network
- Dion Cook, CEO, Denkyem Coop
- Sandhya Nakhasi, Chief Investment Officer, Community Credit Lab
This event will be in online livestream format: pour a beverage of your choice at home and join us for an inspiring informal discussion from 6pm - 7pm. Webinar details will be sent out in advance of the event to confirmed attendees.
