Tom Leach quoted in Portland Press Herald on community financing

Business professor, Tom Leach, was quoted on December 4, 2009 in a Portland Press Herald article on community-focused enterprises seeking home-grown financing.  "Many people are feeling disillusioned by large financial corporations.  That may make some people more willing to look at the "double bottom line" - the social responsibility of a venture - rather than just the conventional bottom line of profitability.  They're willing to take the risk because they want to build community, and they want to be socially responsible," Leach said.
