In 2007, OFN established the Ned Gramlich Lifetime Achievement Award for Responsible Finance in memory of former board member and former Federal Reserve Board Governor Ned Gramlich. The award recognizes and celebrates a person of distinction who embodies the core purpose of the CDFI industry. The OFN Board of Directors will select the 2021 awardee, who will be invited to speak at the 2021 OFN Virtual Conference in October.
“I am pleased to invite OFN members, allies, and other industry partners to help select the 2021 winner of this prestigious award. Please consider nominating an industry leader who has dedicated her or his life to aligning capital with justice and change,” said OFN President and CEO Lisa Mensah.
