Are you following Microfinance USA 2010 on Twitter (@mfusa2010)? Here’s what conference tweeters had to say about the opening remarks from Gavin Newsom (@gavinnewsom) and the plenary session on credit and savings:
@shivsiroya: “Savers are strivers” they have an entrepreneurial spirit too #mfusa2010
@RMMFI: #mfusa2010. San Fran has more payday lenders than McDonalds and Starbucks combined. Every piece of that statement is disgusting!
@AspenInstitute: brilliant proverb from Lisa Mensah “Money gathered in dark places brings light”. Think about it. #mfusa2010
@cfednews: I wake up everyday thinking this is our time #MFusa2010 #microfinance
@alanpruitt: #MFusa2010 @gavinnewsom This fall, every SF student will start school with education trust fund for college. Amazing!
@opportunityfund: @gavinnewsom Every child entering SF schools will b given college savings account- Kids w/ savings 7x more likely 2 go 2 college #MFusa2010
