As financial literacy requirements continue to expand nationwide, this conversation will explore what schools, teachers, and students actually need to make financial education meaningful and sustainable in practice.

Looking forward to an inspiring and thoughtful conversation.

Financial literacy mandates are expanding nationwide — but successful implementation takes more than policy alone.

Join Financial Beginnings and leaders in education and financial services on May 26 for a virtual roundtable conversation about what schools, teachers, and students actually need to thrive.

Featuring:
• Tracy Godat, FEPPP
• Adam Whalen, Northwest Regional ESD
• Kaori Yamada, U.S. Bank
• Ronecca Norvell, Financial Beginnings

As Financial Literacy Month comes to a close, we’re spending the final four days highlighting the volunteers who help make financial education possible.

Today, we’re proud to recognize James Harker, who began volunteering after retirement to help others build financial confidence and opportunity.

After teaching at a downtown shelter, James stayed after class to help one participant navigate debt consolidation and loan forgiveness options.

“I could tangibly sense a relief in his eyes and a lifting of his shoulders … a light at the end of a tough tunnel.”

We’re grateful for volunteers like James who help turn financial education into real-life impact—one conversation at a time.
