Monthly Topical Call – Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis

Tuesday, April 21 at 12:00 p.m. 

Part of the Minnesota CDFI Coalition’s work is to provide space for connection and collaboration, and the Monthly Topical Calls are themed along an area of work or interest.

In April we will be joined by representatives of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis to present on findings from the January General Business Survey, and CDFI-specific research. This will be an opportunity to learn more about this data and insights that CDFIs can use. This presentation will focus on existing, publicly available information and data.
