New Financial Literacy Toolbox Debuts
ABA launched its newest member-only resource—the ABA Toolbox on
Financial Education—today with resources, lesson plans, communications
tools, and a strategy to help bankers meet a growing need for more and
better financial education for Americans.
"All of us need to commit to do more to expand people's understanding
of money, of us, and of our business," said ABA Chairman Harris
Simmons in a memo accompanying the Toolbox.
Bankers will find such tools as a financial education calendar, suggestions
for partnering with community groups, financial education case studies,
instructions for creating consumer-oriented Web pages using Toolbox
resources, lesson plan, and more.
This latest Toolbox in ABA's popular series—all free to ABA members
and not available for sale—comes as the ABA Education Foundation
prepares to celebrate its 10th annual National
Teach Children to Save Day, April 25
Every ABA
member CEO will receive a free copy of the Toolbox in April. In the
meantime, bankers can read, download
and use ABA's Toolbox on Financial Education
