Alliance Huddles bring Black CDFI leaders together with the funders, bankers, policymakers, and civic leaders shaping their regional economies. Where national conferences offer scale, Huddles offer depth, candid peer exchange, and a conversation grounded in the city it's held in.
In Charlotte, that means a keynote luncheon, a panel on growth and displacement in the New South, and an evening designed for building.
The challenges are national. The work happens close to home.
