Huge thanks to ECDI - Economic and Community Development Institute and Huntington National Bank for organizing the incredible Great Lakes Lenders Conference (GLLC)! We were inspired by the local welcome from Mayor Andrew Ginther, Representatives from City, County, and State, and the SBA District Directors. Learning about the legacy of the oldest Black-owned business in America with We Elevate You Foundation founders was truly powerful. Our panel on Advanced 504 Techniques was a success thanks to CCDC President Laura Frum. Grateful for the insightful presentations on SBA lending, 7(a) liquidations, and the importance of CDFIs. #GreatLakesLenders #SmallBusiness #EconomicDevelopment #Partnership #ThankYou
