The National Community Reinvestment Coalition (NCRC) is celebrating 20
years of the Community Reinvestment Act by bringing you its 1998 Annual
Conference - this year's most informative, cutting edge training on how
to bring wealth, in the form of private capital, into your community.

20 Years of CRA:
Redefining Financial Modernization
Because Communities Count

March 18-21, 1998 Washington D.C.

CONFIRMED KEYNOTE SPEAKER:
Attorney General Janet Reno, U.S. Department of Justice


What is your community's vision for the future? In dozens of cities
and rural areas across America, communities are making their visions
come true by harnessing the power of community reinvestment. Our work
has shown that there is only one permanent solution to neighborhood
revitalization, and that is the infusion of sustained, patient and
flexible capital that invests in the dreams, the ideas and the hopes of
the people in that neighborhood.

Join America's most prominent community developers, lenders, and
activists in Washington, D.C. on March 18-21, 1998 to explore how to
move private capital to create wealth and economic empowerment in
minority and low-to-moderate-income neighborhoods.
