Presley Gillespie to Speak on Recent FED Survey Related to Small Businesses and LMI Communities

Aug 9, 2024

Next week, Presley Gillespie, our President & CEO at Neighborhood Allies, will join Matt Klesta, Senior Policy Analyst, Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, and Kurt Reiber, President and CEO, Freestore Foodbank to discuss the most recent Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland’s Community Issues Survey (CIS). This survey collects information semiannually from direct service providers to monitor economic conditions and identify issues impacting low- and moderate-income (LMI) households in the Fourth District, a region that includes Ohio, western Pennsylvania, eastern Kentucky, and the northern panhandle of West Virginia.

Presley will be discussing Neighborhood Allies’ goals to support and grow small businesses and how practitioners can use the survey results to inform programs and initiatives to achieve the greatest impact. We invite you to tune in, listen and receive expert insights on affordable housing, job stability, financial well-being and access to credit, and other findings from Presley and the other thought-leaders!

Register for the webinar today and plan to tune in on 8/13/24 at 2:00pm! Results and findings of the 2024 survey can be found here!
