Thank You for Being a Part of the Team

Team,

Thank you so much for being a part of KFEC’s journey these past few weeks. It takes a village. Everyone that has subscribed to our newsletter, engaged with us online, engaged with us personally, or simply reached out to discuss how they want to contribute means a lot.

I have learned a lot over the past few weeks and I’m looking forward to doing more in the future. We’re really excited about the work we are doing with the Kentucky Financial Educators Network, as well as our teacher education scholarship program, and much more. If you have an idea for a partnership, do not hesitate to reach out.

This week we do not have a research piece to discuss, but we will be sharing some personal stories over the next few weeks. If you are interested in being a part of that, please reach out. Keep your eye out for those stories. In the meantime, enjoy our financial literacy news roundup below.

Thank you for reading.

Matt Frey, KFEC Executive Director
