On Wednesday Net Impact Austin co-sponsored a talk on Microfinance in the USA during the RISE conference. Those of you who attended the last Net Impact event on Microfinance In Texas (Raising the BoP) may recall that many attendees were interested in how similar concepts work in the USA. Kala Philo founder of the Austin Microfinance Network led an engaging panel consisting of professionals who cover a wide variety of roles dealing with Microfinance right here in Central Texas.
