Party on the Green: 2024 Summer Networking Mixer Event Recap

We were delighted to connect and celebrate with our entrepreneurs, residential and small business partners, and staff at our Summer Networking Mixer on Thursday, June 13th, 2024, at the Tree House Brewery in Tewksbury, MA. It was the perfect way to kick off the summer for MCCI + FBE.

During his welcoming remarks, Glynn Lloyd, our Executive Director, provided brief updates on several exciting initiatives. These included our Solar Plus Residential Loan Pilot, the Business Equity Initiative (BEI) for Diverse Developers in partnership with The Life Initiative and Gabby Geller, and our most recent equity investment deal with NXGN Camps, one of the only Black-owned and led sports camps in the country.

Thank you to all our guests who made it an incredible event, bringing us together and highlighting the importance of creating community. And a special thank you to Japu Restaurant for catering the event and ImagixStudio for the great pictures!
