The Valentine and the Capital Region Collaborative (CRC) are celebrating this year’s History Makers at Virginia Union University on March 12th. Each day we’re taking a moment to spotlight some of the 2019 honorees. Today we celebrate Candice Streett!

For the past nine years, Candice Streett has led LISC’s economic development work, designing three small business programs and launching four financial opportunity centers, which connect residents to resources and coaching for sustainable businesses and financial stability.
