Nothing much is coming to my mind.? 

There is a fellow in Denver (Bob Samples) who has been connected and works with small loans, a couple in? Fort Collins (retired I think) who reworked ICA's old wisdom on community development for an organization called Village Earth (villageearth.org) that included microenterprise.? Jim Troxel did a series of economic development forums in Chicago neighborhoods,?? The Oyler's through the Jacobs Foundation did strategic planning for a microcredit organization based in New Mexico.

I am sending this around to see who else may know of experiences.

Hi, Jim-

?

Would you be available some time this week so that I can pick your brain about ICA's microenterprise experiences over the past 40 years? I'm looking for concrete examples to use for the microcredit program.

?

Thanks,

?

Cheryl
