The 2008 Opportunity Finance Network Annual Conference
 
Recognizing Native CDFIs at the 2008 OFN Conference

Did you know that there are nearly 50 Native CDFIs serving Native markets across the United States? Did you know that just eight years ago, there were less than a handful? Find out what this dynamic segment of the opportunity finance field has accomplished at the 2008 OFN Conference in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Learn at the Fifth Annual Native Gathering, the six breakout sessions in the Native CDFI training track, other sessions throughout the conference, and a lunchtime keynote address by Lance Morgan, President of Ho-Chunk, Inc., the development corporation for the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska.

Experience Native culture at the Opening Reception. Meet Native-owned small businesses at the Entrepreneur Marketplace. Recognize the outstanding contributions of one Native CDFI and one practitioner at the Native Awards Ceremony. For more information or to nominate a Native CDFI, download the Nomination form.
