The Social Enterprise Program, together with Columbia Business School alumni Keith Timko '02, Real Estate Advisory & Development Services (nonprofit real estate development firm), and Ben Kornfeind '05, Dunn Development Corporation, has launched a Community and Real Estate Development Interest Group.  The scope of the group is quite broad and will include discussion in areas at the intersection of:

•    Community development

•    Real estate development

•    Community development finance

•    Public and tax credit finance

•    Community efforts around energy efficiency and renewable energy

•    For-profit/non-profit partnerships in real estate

•    Urban planning

•    Philanthropy

The group will convene each quarter in person or by conference call.  After each meeting, notes with additional resources will be circulated as an added benefit to group members.
