2021 NMTC Coalition Annual Conference

December 15, 2021

The NMTC Coalition’s 2021 Annual NMTC Conference takes place on December 15th and will be virtual this year. The conference is typically held in Washington, D.C. and brings together Community Development Entities (CDEs), investors, and policymakers who are engaged with the NMTC, and this year will be no exception. In fact, we expect to have record attendance, with NMTC practitioners participating from all across the country. 

Our keynote speakers include FIVE members of Congress and CDFI Fund Director Jodie Harris.
