The savings rate in
our country is low. Bankruptcy and foreclosure rates
are high. Predatory lending
and unscrupulous check-cashing practices are victimizing
low- to moderate-income individuals, including the elderly.
And our young people are being lured into the debt cycle
as society encourages a "get it now, pay for it later" mentality.
Are our financial education programs strong enough to turn
the tide?
This day-long conference will explore financial education
policy, practices, methods, and measurements.
Ambassador Andrew Young, spokesperson for the nationally
acclaimed financial empowerment organization, Operation
HOPE, will serve as keynote speaker. This event is
sure to inspire new thinking and renewed energy!
