Joining the Center's Behavioral Policy Works in Process lunch series in April will be Former Sugarman Practitioner in Residence and START Entrepreneur David Henderson, founder of Giving Credit, the premier community finance credit reporting agency that is expanding access to mainstream credit through peer lending data.

Forty-five million people in the United States are credit invisible. Faced with financial exclusion, 90% of low-to-moderate income individuals lend and borrow with friends and family. David will talk on Tuesday, April 1 (no fooling!) about his venture, Giving Credit, and how they are expanding access to credit in low-income communities by leveraging the oldest form of finance. He will touch on the regulatory issues and upsides that he's seen in launching this organization and will share his path to expanding access to consumer credit through community finance. He will also welcome thoughts on how he can expand his services, network, and impact in the U.S.

All members of the Princeton community—undergraduates, graduate students, fellows, staff, and faculty—are invited. Lunch will be served at 12:30 with a 50 minute presentation beginning at 12:40 with time embedded for discussion. Please RSVP for lunch by March 12.
