Editor's Notes

  • #18 Update these numbers when NW partner decisions have been made Change: “Up to 5 New Partners” to “X New partners” (number we selected), Change “10 States” to “X States” (number of states newly selected partners represent).
  • #19  Reference other northwest partners including CLUES and El Centro. Talking points for Gabriel (the Next Door): - Why do their clients join Lending Circles - Individ success story (Gandara’s Alterations) - Highlight from a formation - What has he seen to be the impact in the community
