Bay Area Asset Funders Network Member Meeting

Savings at Scale:
Ideas,Trends and Emerging Opportunities

This year marks the 21st anniversary of Michael Sherraden's seminal book, Assets and the Poor, which helped to launch and define the asset-building field. The milestone is being noted in small gatherings, across the country, that are bringing stakeholders together to reflect on where we've been and where we're going in the quest to expand asset-building opportunities for low-wealth individuals and families.

The June 7th Bay Area AFN membership meeting will contribute to this discourse with a panel discussion on ideas, trends and emerging opportunities to bring savings to scale.  Panel participants will include key thinkers and innovators in the asset-building field who will share their visions of what scale might look like and how to get there in the years ahead.   Please join us for this important discussion and register today!
