It’s been a few months since I last posted. Here’s what I’ve been up to:
I finished my MBA in Sustainability through Bard College, where I was part of their 4th graduating class.
I also had the privilege of sharing the Bard MBA’s student leadership award with two amazing women (Jen Shelbo and Reagan Richmond).
The ladies of @BardMBA take home #sustainabilityleader awards! Amazed by the work you have done. #leadthechange pic.twitter.com/gIeP0xtc61

I went to DC to connect with some awesome people wanting to expand the power of local investing. Together, we’re starting the new National Coalition for Community Capital.

And I attended the Local Sustainable Economies Conference, presented by SBN Mass, AMIBA, and BALLE, where I co-presented with Michael Shuman and Amy Cortese. I had a great few days in Boston talking about community capital, getting cash into the hands of entrepreneurs, investment crowdfunding, and moving capital to jump-start local economies.

All in all, it’s been a busy and exciting few months! Next up, I’ll be relocating back to North Carolina where I’m excited to dig in to a few new projects. Follow me on Twitter to learn more about my work and future speaking engagements.
