The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is hosting a forum to encourage the enhancement of collaborations between banks and rural communities in Mississippi. Community leaders will share opportunities for banks to lend, invest, and provide services to support their initiatives and programs. Banks will showcase examples of successful community collaborations that have received Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) consideration.
