Working Solutions Celebrates CDFI History and Impact at #OFN40
Working Solutions recently joined over 2,500 peers in Los Angeles for the 40th annual Opportunity Finance Network (OFN) conference, "Made By History. Made For This Moment." This milestone event created space for Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) practitioners to honor our history and strategize for the future of economic justice and financial inclusion.
Our leadership team participated in thought-provoking sessions highlighting some of the industry’s most pressing topics:
Sara Razavi, CEO, moderated the plenary panel "Tidal Shift: CDFI Leaders on Shaping our Third Wave" and was a speaker for sessions focused on CDFI loan fund mergers and how CDFIs can better serve AANHPI entrepreneurs.
Titi Ikhile, Chief Program Officer, presented on session panels: “From Vision to Reality: Translating CDFI Strategic Plans into Actionable Impact” and “Unlocking the Potential of Technology to Improve Business Support Services.”
Each session reinforced our commitment to expanding impact for underserved communities and driving strategic growth. Our team also had opportunities to connect with industry leaders, learn and share best practices, and tour the impactful work of CDFIs across LA.
We are grateful to OFN for fostering these connections and for 40 years of commitment to CDFI history and impact. Working Solutions is proud to be part of this movement aligning capital with social, economic, climate, and political justice.
