Keeping Track. There is so much going on in the field of Opportunity Finance right now that one of the most difficult things we all have to do is try to keep track of news, knowledge, and information. I am fortunate that my job lets me see across the industry and to glean--if not always to fully digest--the rich variety of things you are doing.
The purpose of this blog is to share informally with you what I learn, what I experience, and what Opportunity Finance Network is doing. I hope that, in turn, you will use this technology to share your ideas, experiences, and work with me and with our Network.
It will take me a while to figure out what I should post and I assume it will take you a while to figure out what to respond to (and, perhaps, how). I hope to use this as
- A travelogue (a report on my recent tour of New Orleans, for instance),
- A newsletter (updates on major activities here at Opportunity Finance Network),
- An op-ed page (a chance to comment on developments at the federal, state, and local levels, as well as some developments across the industry),
- An early-warning system about important events on the horizon, and
- A dialogue with practitioners.
All that said (and promised), this is an experiment in communications. Please let me know what you think, what you want to know, and what you know that others would like to know.
Thanks,
Mark
Mark, I like the blog idea (and the first blog incarnation).
No real substantive feedback here, except to say keep it up.
Primairly wanted to test out this comment feature.
