#mifimon (Microfinance Mondays) is a biweekly Twitter discussion group that aims to host an exchange ideas about issues relevant to the microfinance industry. Every Monday, for about two hours, a group of tweeters interested in microfinance discusses a wide range of topics such as Microfinance and Technology, Women and Microfinance, and many more. The challenge, however, is that all posts are constrained by twitter’s 140 characters limit.
Last week’s #mifimon topic was “Microfinance and Higher Education” featuring a panel discussion led by MFTransparency’s President and CEO, Chuck Waterfield (twitter: @chuckwaterfield), also a faculty member at Columbia University. Chuck’s course at Columbia is titled “Planning a Microfinance Institution” and focuses on business planning, decision making and financial modeling that underlies the successful launch and operation of an MFI. MFTransparency’s Vice President, Alexandra Fiorillo (twitter: @alexfiorillo), also participated in the discussion.
