Update on Personal Finance Graduation Requirement; Financial Literacy Coalition Seeking Advocates

Last week, the Minnesota Credit Union Network hosted a webinar on the new Personal Finance Graduation Requirement that was signed into law this year.

​During the webinar, Jason Kley, Co-Chair, Financial Literacy Coalition of Minnesota provided and overview of the legislative effort to get the requirement passed into law and the opportunities to advance financial education.

Follow this link for a recording of the webinar.  We’ll be continuing the conversation at our Financial Education P2P on Sept. 6.

The Financial Literacy Coalition of Minnesota and the Minnesota Council of Economic Educators are looking for individuals to collaborate in the implementation of personal finance course: 

• MCEE Board of Directors: The board is responsible for creating a long-term vision and handling the governance, legal and compliance aspects of the entire organization. If you are interested, you can express that through the survey linked below but recognize the MCEE Governance Committee will make final decisions. View a description of board member roles and responsibilities.
• Financial Literacy Advisory Committee (FLAC): MCEE is forming a new committee of industry professionals, leading teachers, and academic experts who will advise MCEE staff with respect to personal finance programming design and implementation. Advisory Committee members are not part of the MCEE Board; they will specialize in program content. View a description of the FLAC roles and responsibilities.

Complete the engagement survey to share how you would like to participate. Submitting the survey is not a commitment, but a statement of interest.
