mission is to ensure that every student in America understands essential

and global economy,
as producers, consumers, and citizens.
Through seminars, workshops, course offerings,
and instructional resources, the MUCEE

become productive members of the labor force, responsible and informed

nation. |

Speaker: John Hatch
John Hatch is the
founder of FINCA, one of the world's leading microcredit institutions
with programs in 23 countries and over one million low-income families
assisted since its inception in 1984. John is also known as the father
of "village banking", a group loan methodology now replicated by over
800 micro-credit programs in 60 countries. John's economic development
career spans 44 years, during which time he was a Peace Corps volunteer
and staff member (1962-64), Fulbright scholar (PhD. Univ. Wisconsin,
1973), economist, and a consultant to small farmer development projects
in some 50 countries (1973-83). In addition to his management duties at
FINCA, from 1996 to 2006 John directed field research by summer interns
armed with Palm Pilots who interview some 4,000 clients per year to
document their poverty levels, business profitability, and rising living
standards. John also continues to serve as co-founder and executive
committee member of the Microcredit Summit global campaign to reach 175
million of the world’s poorest mothers with self-employment loans by the
year 2015. He has given microcredit workshops and lectured widely at
universities at home and abroad.
