Credit union professionals, community leaders and educators are strongly encouraged to attend.
“The FOCUS Summit aligns perfectly with Transformance’s message of promoting financial literacy in our schools and communities,” said Ken Goodgames, president and CEO. “We hope that the networking and knowledge provided by the summit will empower attendees to explore actionable financial initiatives to foster self-sustainability in the communities they represent.”

Sessions covered during the two-day summit include a keynote address and eight breakout sessions covering topics such as financial literacy on a personal level, college savings accounts, leadership, family budgeting and consumer finance.
