> Growing out of her experience as a Wall Street investment banker with
Dillon Read, Assistant Secretary of HUD in the first Bush Administration and
lead financial advisor to the Federal Housing Administration during the
Clinton Administration, Catherine will talk about "the real deal" --- what
is draining our communities that we can not learn about on the evening news.
She will introduce her vision of actions that we can take individually to
"vote with our money" and with our neighbors to finance healthy local living
economies by organizing a "solari" -- a community controlled databank and
investment advisor. A solari is designed to create a new and healthy
relationship between local communities and global investors.

> Through a series of captivating stories about "the real deal", Catherine
will describe her efforts to bring transparency and accountability to
government expenditures and financing, the resulting litigation with Ervin
Associates/HUD which destroyed her company, Hamilton Securities, and why her
investment in this litigation is important to a revival of community
controlled and lead spiritual, cultural, economic and environmental healing.

> During the last decade, Catherine has lead $12 billion of mortgage,
economic development and venture capital transactions in her efforts to
prototype how we could reengineer government operations within communities
and significantly reduce citizen, small business and farmer debt by
accessing equity financing cooperatively.
>
>
>
> The workshop will focus on what Catherine has learned about the
opportunities for communities to nurture, support and grow local jobs and
businesses while transforming our incentives to heal our environment and
government, corporate and banking corruption. This includes privatization
under local control to protect community assets from much riskier
privatization which moves water and other assets to control from outside the
community.

>
> More time will be spent on what a solari is and how to use the Solari
Action Network to find and dialogue with others who are building solari
discussion groups and solaris around the US. Here is an opportunity to
discuss interactively with Catherine about how we can transform the
financial flows in our communities so that our money starts to work for us
and those we love on a sustainable basis.
