"2003 Durable CDCs Conference"
The aim of the 2003 conference was to surface ideas and approaches that could help the Bay Area community development corporations become more strategic about their sustainability. Another dimension of the meeting was to provide a setting for the Bay Area's diverse groups, place-based and regional, to explore organzational and external issues of common concern.

"2000 Durable CDCs Conference"
This paper reports on the proceedings of a conference held on February 28, 2000, attended by 75 individuals representing an array of California's community development corporations (CDCs), small and large, nascent and mature. Sponsored by LISC, the conference examined three real life case studies of CDCs confronting serious challenges to their ability to survive and continue delivering programs and services to their communities. The case study method enabled us to ask questions, compare experiences, distill learnings, and identify issues that warrant further study.
