This Week: MIE New Member Mixer
11 a.m.-Noon PT / 2-3 p.m. ET
Thursday, Sept. 5
Are you wondering how to connect with other impact-driven members in the Mission Investors Exchange (MIE) network? Eager to meet seasoned MIE members who can share their insights and experiences?
Join us for an engaging, informal virtual gathering designed to bring new and existing MIE members together! It’s the perfect opportunity to meet peers, build relationships, and deepen connections with other professionals who are equally passionate about impact investing.
On June 3, 2024, the 11th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals issued a preliminary injunction against the Fearless Fund in the ongoing case of American Alliance for Equal Rights v. Fearless Fund. This injunction currently prohibits the Fearless Fund from distributing grants solely targeted for Black women small business owners as the case proceeds through the Georgia federal courts.
In this session, legal experts will give an in-depth overview of the court’s decision, discuss potential implications for impact investing, and offer best practices for navigating your institution's work in this evolving legal landscape. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and gain additional insights.
Investing, Impact and Public Policy: Role for Evaluators — An AEA Partnership

Wednesday, Sept. 25
MIE is excited to partner with the Social Finance Topical Interest Group of the American Evaluation Association (AEA) to discuss recent finance-related public policies that require companies to report their environmental and social impacts. You will not want to miss this webinar featuring a conversation with global sustainability leader Tim Mohin, Partner and Director at Boston Consulting Group, moderated by John Sherman of Sherman Impact Consulting. Webinar attendees will leave with a better understanding of these ESG rules and how they affect and offer opportunities for evaluators and impact measurement and management (IMM) practitioners.
MIE's Deep Dive on Deals: Due Diligence and Lessons Learned at the Intersection of Affordable Housing and Commercial Development, 10:30 a.m. PT / 1:30 p.m. ET, Thursday, Oct. 17
MIE members should log in to register for the events above. If you have questions or challenges with registration, topic suggestions, or if you are not an MIE member but would like to attend, please contact Madeline Moerk. Being on-camera and fully engaged is encouraged. The New Member Mixer will not be recorded due to the community-building and informal nature of the call.
