More than 200 people attended MCIC 's recent Community Development, Government and Banking Forum, Matricula Cards, New Market Opportunities and Changing Immigration Law, co-sponsored by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. Represented were 12 foreign consulates, 36 banking institutions, 14 government offices and an assortment of non-profit groups, lenders, regulators and policy and research organizations. Many joined us from other parts of the U.S. a few came from other countries!

We have received many inquiries since the Forum looking for additional information and resources. We constructed this web page in response to that need. Here you will find links to the program, MCIC 's presentation on the growing acceptance of Matricula and ITIN cards at financial institutions across the country, 2 maps of accepting banks in Chicago, pictures from the event, the evaluation of the Forum as well as an order form for maps MCIC created regarding Matricula use which were on display at the Forum. We will soon be adding a section on "Lessons Learned" from the Forum which will include comments from panelists and attendees.

Thank you to our wonderful panelists, Forum attendees and the staff of the Federal Reserve Bank for making the Forum a huge success!
