Knowing that you are personally committed to financial education for all
Montanans and families across the Northern Plains region, I wanted to
personally invite you to attend the Montana Financial Education
Coalition conference February 23, 2010 in Helena, MT. Please take a
moment to review the below agenda. Whether you are working to build
assets, increase consumer awareness, working with youth and teens, or
seniors the conference tracks take a comprehensive approach to sharing
best practices and ways to build your programs. The mini-grants at the
conference end allow you the ability to obtain the funding to implement
what you've learned or augment your own program. I look forward to
seeing you there! 

Jolene Bach 
MFEC President
