New England Impact Investing Initiative, Inc.

We’re kicking off our Fall Fellowship! 46 impact leaders will join us for our four-month learning journey that will explore impact investing in depth and how to change finance to work for all. We have a number of high-profile speakers and workshops to help us in our mission to democratize access to impact-investing education. Follow along for Public Events you join - these events will be a great opportunity to meet our amazing Fellows from all across the world.  We’re very proud to have them and can’t wait to start exchanging during our Community Calls and Skill Sessions each week. Curious? Join us in the Spring if you’d like to participate. If you'd like to learn more about the Fellows and our Fall Program, check out this flyer - https://lnkd.in/ewUpXiiB

This week, we hosted two skill sessions with Jenny Coombs and Carlos Vargas to introduce key topics around hashtag #sustainablefinance and hashtag #impactinvesting. These sessions help our fellows develop a key understanding of the main frameworks and latest developments in the field. We believe that a core knowledge base on where the industry has come from and where it is going is important to learn about by our future impact leaders. Follow along for further open sessions that are part of our Fellowship and learn with us. Intrigued? Learn more about the Fellowship here: https://lnkd.in/dMzZAk2R

Our second community call is today! Our fellows will meet James Vaccaro to inspect the cracks in the foundations of finance. How to hold the paradoxes of the system, what do they tell us about the state of the industry? Where are more regenerative alternatives emerging? A great start to grasp the complexity of the challenge, and how we might contribute to making a difference. Intrigued? Learn more about the Fellowship here https://lnkd.in/dMzZAk2R And make sure to join some of our open sessions throughout the program.
