At this Forum we'll review critical lessons learned from Faith-Based Asset Owners (FBAOs) and provide an update to our Faith-Consistent Investing and Smaller Organizations research.  We've spent the last 12 months accompanying and listening to many of you on FCI journeys – through our educational course, research, and projects – and we have trends and learnings to share. We'll be joined by two FBAOs to share insights from their recent investment journey. This session is highly relevant for FBAOs – as always – and we also invite investment service providers interested in working more effectively with the faiths to join.
