~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear H,
Our Labor Capital Strategies Fellowship at Georgetown University recently completed
a second successful summer. Students and hosts shared positive feedback on their
experience which we've put into an Educational Overview [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001FzerL1c5uIA08i82a_gYWp0R4Tc9wJ6IipbNS6YmLHTEhn2Gmoxce4_jh-yZ_goZ6YHqcsD63nIepxq3Id-gX62FF72w2tzdvtJTsYxhTLao4FsMVNml5yxj1oO-8IiBNrUE_7v81ZVxL5Ot9g27R4AS5x6Yao-EplzTcsD8aMkh-84aDyZnV5P01M4W_9Yk8HmzL0AFAAShFg0j3MDZw-E5Q6iONNyzEBuHiugIC2qU3zyfPkeRgT7-rFz2pgAV&c=NM9t3MCNNmnTtFnc-Rj5mOjmiDHdP5KvFe7uRCu2boQqgJaFbE9i2w==&ch=I-n2E77YjMGpEtYeA9wtQa-DiZc5i0Zfl8lx4QkyG8Nf_vdqMFWb1g==]
document. In this issue of the Expresso, we share highlights from summer 2018 and
hope you'll want to "Pay It Forward" with this ground-breaking program by participating
as a host or sponsor for 2019.
In other Heartland news, there's still time to join us on September 13 for the High
Wage America "Lessons from the Heartland" event in Washington, DC with Vice President
Biden and NY Senator Kirsten Gillibrand.
Until next Expresso, keep on, keepin' on!
Tom

A Brief Fellowship History!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The millennial generation is eager to change the world, to build a more inclusive
and sharing economy, and to re-grow a sustainable planet. They are attracted to
projects that foster entrepreneurial solutions to today's problems, and to community
organizing that achieve tangible goals such as a Living Wage. They value doing business
with companies that utilize sustainable business practices and are accountable to
employees and communities. Young people are not just invested in society and politics,
but they recognize the need to learn financial, legal and governance strategies
to advance a fairer economy.
Recognizing this opportunity, Heartland Capital Strategies (HCS) and Georgetown
University's Kalmanovitz Initiative for Labor and the Working Poor (GU) met in mid-2016
to lay the groundwork for a new impact investment fellowship for college-aged students.
The mission of the fellowship would be to identify and educate a new generation
of capital stewards and responsible investors, and to construct a new, diverse talent
pipeline.
In December 2016, a group of investment, labor, business, and academic leaders convened
at Georgetown. The Labor Capital Strategies Fellowship plan was met with enthusiastic
support and given a green light for Summer 2017. HCS and KI began actively recruiting
for fellow hosts, program sponsors, and students. Drawing upon prestigious practicum
placements, focused classroom instruction, and unique and exciting learning experiences,
students in the fellowship would develop the background they need to design and
implement responsible investments throughout their professional careers. [READ MORE

Fellow Quote!

I assisted in researching and writing part of the New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC)
proposal for the Housing Investment Trust and its CDE subsidiary, Building America.
I really appreciated the opportunity to support the development of multi-family
and affordable housing, and to help low-income people.
