The Mohegan tribe and First Affirmative Financial Network announced jointly on Friday that the 23rd annual SRI Conference for Sustainable, Responsible, Impact Investing (The SRI Conference), formerly known as SRI in the Rockies, will be hosted at the Mohegan Sun Conference center in Connecticut in October.
According to the Mohegan tribe, its role as host of the event reflects the sharp rise in interest among Native American nations in community impact investing, which is one of the major elements of sustainable, responsible, impact investing.
Bruce "Two Dogs" Bozsum, chairman of the Mohegan Tribal Council, said in a statement, "The Mohegan Tribe already makes major investments in housing and education programs, including many that operate in Connecticut outside of our lands and where the members of the Tribe are not the beneficiaries. We see this as an important opportunity to showcase the efforts of Indian nations across the U.S. in the rapidly emerging field of community impact investing. The Mohegan Tribe expects to be among the parties that will benefit from this learning opportunity."
