Women Advancing Microfinance May 23-24 conference in NYC

I'm a big fan of Women Advancing Microfinance - I went to some events with the Chicago chapter as a University of Chicago student, and their NYC chapter is also pretty cool as well.  Great events, great people, good times!
Happy networking,
Katharine
