Annual Financial Literacy Leadership Conference

The SFEPD Annual Financial Literacy Leadership Conference is held during the fall of each year. The conference brings together leaders in the field of financial literacy to develop effective strategies and create partnerships to address the issues that have been broadly discussed in various forums. The primary goal of the conference is to create a forum for leaders of Federal, state, local, corporate, consumer groups, community-based organizations, schools, colleges/universities, financial institutions, other interested organizations and individuals to  "roll-up" their sleeves to expand the process to enhance the level of financial literacy at all levels of the American society. 

WHAT'S NEW:

Financial Education Workshops and Seminars

Beginning the 2010-2011 academic school year, the organization will expand its financial education program to majority colleges and universities, nationwide.  The students of these schools will be offered credit management and personal management seminars/workshops.  This will be accomplished through the successful partnership with HSBC-North America.

Third Annual Conference

The Third Annual Financial Literacy Leadership Conference is an opportunity to gain important information, strategies, and partnerships to help enhance the financial literacy of your constituent group, institution, organization, or community. The conference's theme is "Financial Literacy: Next Steps," and will offer both opportunities to hear guest speakers and key panelists, as well as to present your own perspectives and interests regarding effective financial education delivery. The conference will be October 25-26, 2010, and interested parties can register at www.sfepd.org.

WHAT WE NEED:

To ensure the accomplishment of its mission, the organization seeks partners to expand its programs to corporate, government institutions, and underserved groups.
