Wanted - Micro-Finance Expert in Canada

Posted August 26th, 2008 by Gena Rotstein

I was asked by Taunya Woods-Richardson about connecting Powerhouse Inc. with a specialist in Micro-Finance to sit on a panel with other financial experts at the Powerhouse X-change in October in Calgary. The X-change is a gathering of Powerhouse members and start-up business owners to learn and share from each other as they grow their companies. If you are, or you know of someone who is, an expert in micro-finance and would like to be a part of this event please drop me an email - . I will send you the info.

Thanks for your help!
