CBA’s 3rd Annual Credit Building Symposium will explore the linkage between credit building and the broader issues of income inequality, poverty reduction, and asset building. Addressing these issues is of critical importance as wealth inequality has continued to widen along racial and ethnic lines since the end of the Great Recession, according to the Pew Research Center.

Hundreds of nonprofit organizations involved in credit building and those corporate and government entities whose practices include credit reporting, credit scoring and/or credit granting are expected to attend.
