Side Meeting: Lenders Stronger Together - By Invitation

Thursday September 24, 2026 8:00am - 9:30am MDT

This session follows from two farm lenders meeting held at NFVC in 2024. The objective is to strengthen connections and information sharing among innovative agricultural lenders. We’ll focus on how collaboration can strengthen our work and maintain capacity to support and protect clients, particularly in the current funding and political environment. We anticipate that participants will come away with stronger relationships, a better understanding of potential areas for collaboration, and insights from each other's organizational and program strategies.

This side meeting is a closed session - participation is by invitation only.
