The podcast is a recording of a webinar and addresses frontline perspectives on:

• Experiences they are addressing with the crisis as leaders in the industry
• Perspectives on what they each learned from the financial crisis of 2008/2011 and how that learning applies to COVID-19
• Advice for CDFIs as they navigate COVID-19 challenges
• A framework for viewing the next three months and next year
