Bank of America - Financial Capability: Moving Beyond Financial Education

Thursday, July 29 at 2PM EST

The recent financial crisis has revealed that Americans at all income levels exhibit difficulty in managing their finances and are ill prepared to weather economic stresses. Across the financial services landscape, the need to chart a new course for financial education has never been more apparent, and consumers themselves have never been more motivated to learn. Consumers urgently need more information and tools to recover financially and steward their financial resources.

A shift in financial education may hold the key. Signs are emerging that financial education is shifting its focus to financial capability, which emphasizes behavior change in addition to knowledge gains.

What:   An interactive session with Sarah Gordon of the Center for Financial Services Innovation (CFSI) to discuss the financial capability framework and strategies that may prove effective in creating tangible and lasting change in the way consumers interact with their finances.  Topics include:

  • Defining financial capability
  • A framework for financial capability – putting it into action
  • Financial capability tools
  • Promising practices

Who Should Attend:  Nonprofit practitioners interested in the issues of financial education, access and empowerment

Location: Presentation will be delivered through online webinar and conference call.  Upon registering, you will receive a reply email with the link to the webinar as well as the bridgeline information.

Cost: Free

Register: All participants are required to register through this link.  Upon registering, the organization will receive a confirmation email as well as the link to the webinar and the bridgeline.
Registration deadline: July 27
