The Texas Association of Community Development Corporations (TACDC) is pleased to invite you to attend the 2019 Texas Community Economic Development Policy Summit on November 12 in the Legislative Conference Center (E2.002) of the Texas State Capitol. 

For nearly two decades TACDC has organized this respected forum for legislators, lenders, policy makers, and industry leaders to promote an earnest and wide-ranging discussion of public policy and its impact on community development activities like affordable housing, job creation, and quality of life. The ultimate goal of each Summit is to thoroughly review current issues in order to help identify public policies that will best address those issues.
