Last month I attended the 2010 Africa-Middle East Regional Microcredit Summit in Nairobi, Kenya to represent MFTransparency along with Chuck Waterfield and Alex Fiorillo. As my first Microcredit Summit, this was an exciting event for me.
My role at the Summit was primarily to man the MFTransparency exhibition space, explaining our work to curious passersby and distributing materials on our upcoming projects. Although unfortunately my posting at the booth meant that I had to miss Chuck’s presentation on the panel “Transparency in Interest Rate Pricing and Other Efforts Toward Consumer Protection,” I think it may have been one of the best ways to experience the event. Many thanks are due to Murray Gardiner and Temenos for their help in arranging this great exhibition space for us. It was my pleasure to meet Murray, an MFTransparency Board member, for the first time and to witness firsthand how ready our Board members are to jump in when needed to actively support us.
