The 2009 Rural Development Lenders Roundtable will be an excellent opportunity for rural lending specialists to come together and receive updates on a number of rural government guaranteed loan programs. This is the ONLY forum addressing commercial rural development issues using USDA's Commercial Rural Development guaranteed lending programs. Don't miss this unique opportunity to gather with the top lending USDA personnel and top USDA lenders in the same room! The federal government is expanding its commitment tremendously to support construction of new, renewable energy facilities (i.e. biodiesel, ethanol). This event will give you the most current information on participating in the financing of these facilities. Join us in Washington D.C. on October 6th for this comprehensive rural lending conference. The format for this year's roundtable will be an interactive discussion focused on the current and projected status of USDA Rural Commercial Loan Programs. The roundtable will be moderated by Bob Coleman. We will forgo formalized presentations in lieu of extensive audience participation. We follow the rule that the sum of the knowledge of the audience greatly exceeds designated industry experts.
