2010 Texas Community Economic Development Summit
Legislators, Lenders, and Leaders
Austin, Texas - September 30, 2010

The Texas Association of Community Development Corporations is pleased to invite you to the 2010 Texas Community Development Summit.  The annual meeting of “Legislators, Lenders and Leaders” is designed to encourage conversation around the most pressing public policy issues affecting affordable housing and community economic development across the state of Texas. This year's collection of topics proves to be among the most educational and useful topics, namely, the TDHCA Sunset Process, Financial Reform and its Impact on Community Development, and the Future of Tax Treatment for Affordable Housing.

The Texas Community Development Summit provides the opportunity for leaders and community partners to come together and set the agenda for the future impact on Community Economic Development. Please join us on September 30, 2010 from 9:00am - 2:15 pm in Austin for a day of exchanging innovative ideas.  Through collaboration and sharing resources, we can overcome the serious challenges that face low-income communities such as affordable housing and economic development. Our vision for the future is one where the policies and practices of the public sector, advocates, and private markets work together to ensure all Texans have an opportunity to prosper.
