Last Friday, Obama signed an executive order creating an Advisory Council on Financial Capacity. The goal of the Council is to advise the President on promoting and enhancing financial literacy in the U.S
Though this is a big step forward in financial literacy, the council will unfortunately expire in two years unless it is renewed by the President. This is a call to anyone who believes financial literacy in America is vital. Make sure your voice is heard and let your elected officials know. You can use our map u to find out who they are and how to reach them. We’ve even created a template letter you can send to them, stressing the importance of sustaining and growing financial education in our country. When it all comes down to it, your one voice can make a huge difference.
