Dear Money Smart Week Leaders,
Because of your efforts and commitment in promoting financial literacy in Wisconsin we now know that we had over 15,500 participants during Money Smart Week 2010 (and we are still getting additional attendance numbers). This is terrific news and demonstrates the growing momentum of this important initiative. Congratulations on a job well done! Additional information may be found in the 2010 Annual Report.
The statewide wrap up was held Wednesday, January 26, 2011, at the University of Wisconsin - Madison where Governor Walker’s newly appointed Secretary of Department of Financial Institutions, Peter Bildsten welcomed the gathering and thanked them for their hard work. The Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago and the WI Department of Financial Institutions presented the statistics and highlights of the sucessful 2010 campaign. Also featured was a special luncheon presentation from Dr. Michael Collins, Center for Financial Security at UW-Madison. Nationally recognized for his work in the field of financial literacy, Dr. Collins will provided us with insight and ideas we can implement in our communities across the state.
Future Money Smart Week Wisconsin Weeks are eagerly anticipated. "FORWARD"!*
