Event Description
Please join us for the first HVN Lady Project Book Club on Wednesday, March 5 at Lulu's European Coffeehouse from 6:00pm-8:30pm!
We'll be reading Lean In by Sheryl Sandberg. This event will focus on a discussion of the book and the general topic of "Women, Work, and the Will to Lead". Jen Alexander, CEO of ConnCAN, will be leading the discussion. Take a moment to read about how Jen is leaning in in her own life and career.
This event is limited to only 20 women, ensuring an intimate discussion about the book. Tickets include finger sandwiches, fancy coffee, and treats for dessert. If you're able, consider donating an extra $5 at ticket checkout to our charity beneficiary, New Haven Reads.
If you've been meaning to read Lean In, now is the time. It is about to be made into a movie! Please join this terrific discussion and enjoy treats in Lulu's cozy cafe!

Laying the Cash Tracks for Community Impact
LISC CFO Christina Travers is among the impact investing leaders who contributed commentaries to a new book, The Social Justice Investor, and joined a panel discussion at today’s book launch. In her essay, “Laying the Cash Tracks,” (reprinted here) she explains the evolution of LISC’s capital markets experience—noting how discouraging Wall Street conversations eventually led to transformative, community-focused investments.Sharing the Story of Social Justice Investing
With the launch of the new book, The Social Justice Investor, LISC’s Christina Travers reflects on the ways that CDFIs have tapped the capital markets to deepen their impact—working to upend lingering misconceptions among some investors. "Whether we are financing affordable housing, small businesses, health, safety, climate resilience, racial equity or jobs, we see financial performance and local impact as part of the same whole."EPA Awards GRID Alternatives Solar for All Grant
LISC partner GRID Alternatives has been awarded a $249,800,000 Solar for All grant from the EPA to advance renewable and clean energy sources for affordable housing communities across the country. “The grant is an incredible boon to the movement to decarbonize homes and lower energy costs that burden millions of everyday Americans,” said Michael T. Pugh, president and CEO of LISC.
