Stormy seas are ahead and savvy CDFIs are trimming sales and battening down the hatches. This session will discuss the pluses and minuses of a range of strategies that could strengthen your organization, including partnering with other CDFIs, contracting for back room and other services, and even merging. What special value would your CDFI bring to such a collaboration? What might you seek from others? Peer veterans and other experts will share how they assessed options, why they chose the strategy they did, and how it turned out.
