National Community Development Lending School

AS PRACTITIONERS AND REGULATORS, we have seen hundreds of lending institutions across the nation that have mastered the art of underwriting loans that benefit their communities and generate a healthy profit. The 2002 National Community Development Lending School, July 21–25, University of Southern California (USC), Los Angeles, CA, is geared to sharing these experiences and practices.

The school will focus on how to attract and underwrite community development business that is consistently profitable. A carefully planned curriculum, taught by experts in their fields, is designed to help you think like an entrepreneur, manage risk, structure profitable loans, analyze credit, develop community partnerships and make sound business decisions for your institution.

In addition to the four-and-a half days of intensive training, the instructors will share their experiences in managing community development lending programs, and will discuss some of the industry’s most pressing challenges. They will also share their strategies for making community development an integral part of your institution’s business. Plus, you will have the opportunity to interact with peers from across the country as you develop a professional network that will last long after you return to the office.

We are happy to sponsor this innovative program, and we hope you’ll be able to join us at the University of Southern California in July.

We look forward to seeing you.
