GWU President Steven Knapp:
- Students are already dreaming about creating fourth-sector businesses. "For many of our students, there is nothing surprising about crossing back and forth between for-profit and benefit enterprises ... they often see no contradition."
Chris Myer, panel facilitator:
Joseph Firschein, Federal Reserve Board of Governors
"We're consumers of this, we're just looking to learn as much as we possibly can." His remarks are his only. Why is fed interested in the topic.
- Make sure fed institutions comply with law, community investment act.
