2012 NCRC Annual Conference

Join NCRC and leaders from business, government, community non-profits, media and academia April 18-21, 2012 in Washington, D.C. for cutting edge dialogue and hands-on trainings, workshops, plenaries, and topical sessions on issues affecting America’s communities.

Why Attend the 2012 NCRC Annual Conference?

This event is the largest national gathering and exhibition of community non-profits, small business, policymakers, government, media, and academia–all focused on how together we can create a new economic framework to improve the lives of American families, our workers, our seniors, our children and our environment, while strengthening global access to credit and capital.

For nonprofit executives and practitioners, the conference is a chance to learn about successful strategies used in other communities, to understand how non-traditional solutions can address existing and emerging concerns, and to exchange ideas with colleagues from across the country. Topics will include grassroots efforts that can influence consumer finance reform, workforce development strategies, how to use data for advocacy, and addressing advocacy needs for older adults.

For fair housing professionals, the conference is an opportunity to engage with colleagues on issues such as mortgage servicing, exclusionary zoning, Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing, disparate impact, and other pertinent community-based concerns. This includes gaining a clear understanding of emerging legal issues and cases, and how they may affect local communities.

For local, state, and federal policymakers, the conference is a chance to learn about the concerns that are at the forefront of community efforts across the country. These issues include consumer finance reform and protections, age-friendly banking standards and practices, strengthening CRA on local levels, and identifying new opportunities for communities to work with banks and regulators. It is also a chance for community leaders to hear from people who are in a position to enact policy changes that can improve communities within their jurisdiction.
