Mapping the Fourth Sector

Bill Densmore's running notes on "Mapping the Fourth Sector" summit at George Washington University on Thurs., Jan. 15, 2015:

GWU President Steven Knapp:

  • Students are already dreaming about creating fourth-sector businesses. "For many of our students, there is nothing surprising about crossing back and forth between for-profit and benefit enterprises ... they often see no contradition."

Chris Myer, panel facilitator:

Joseph Firschein, Federal Reserve Board of Governors

"We're consumers of this, we're just looking to learn as much as we possibly can." His remarks are his only. Why is fed interested in the topic.

  • Make sure fed institutions comply with law, community investment act.
  • Inform fed users about practics and products
  • Advance public understanding

Want to identity issues that affect the low-income communities and convening. "There are folks here from all different kids of sectors ... we have a lot of expertise in the room. it is not just the presenters, there are alot of people I hope to hear from.
