OPEN for the 2012 NCRC Annual Conference, April 18-21 in Washington, DC! This multi-day gathering brings together hundreds of community leaders,
development experts, bankers, legislators, regulators, academics and others. The conference is our premier training and networking event of the year, and an opportunity to bring together the brightest stars in government, academia and the financial services industry with real grassroots and community organizations, in order to craft and promote solutions that bring low- and moderate- income people into the financial mainstream.
Member rates available by clicking the register button.
The conference will take place at the Washington Court Hotel. Special Conference rates are available here or by calling (202) 628-2100 and using the Group Code: “NCRC” Please note: if you need an accessible room, you must make the reservation by phone.
NCRC FINANCIAL SUPPORT APPLICATION. NCRC wants all member groups (and those organizations who may be interested in membership) to participate in the annual conference.

Craig Memorial Scholarship Fund. Deadline for applications is February 10, 2012. Apply for financial support or contact Conference@ncrc.org to receive a PDF copy of the scholarship form.
