Description
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) invites all financial institutions and small business stakeholders in the Florida Panhandle to a one-day forum on opportunities for rural small business development in northwest Florida.
The purpose of this forum is to provide networking and joint learning on specialized topics for bankers and small business stakeholders. Participants will learn about federal small business lending programs, Community Development Financial Institutions and receive updates from Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta and FDIC on economic outlooks. Participants will hear from banker panelists regarding their actual experiences using federal small business lending programs. The program will also include an overview of the FDIC Money Smart for Small Business curriculum and feature Community Reinvestment Act/Compliance and Risk Management bank examiners for an interactive discussion on small business lending.
Continental breakfast and lunch will be provided.
