2024 Invest in Girls Champions of Financial Literacy Breakfast

Thursday, November 21, 2024

Invest in Girls has a dual purpose – to usher in the next generation of financially literate girls and to introduce them to careers in the world of finance, with a focus on girls of color and girls from low-income communities. With less than 30% of women feeling empowered to take action to change their personal finances and only 10% of senior managers in the finance industry being women of color, it is imperative to start early with young women to ensure they can both take control of their own financial lives and access leadership roles in the finance industry.

Each year, the Council for Economic Education gathers with industry colleagues, advocates, and friends for a festive and illuminating evening to honor extraordinary leaders who promote economic and financial literacy to create a better-informed society. Our honorees participate in a fireside chat–always a highlight of the event–on the state of the economy and thoughts on the future.

In addition to naming recipients of the prestigious Visionary Award, CEE announces the winners of the Alfred P. Sloan Teaching Champion Award which recognizes outstanding high school economics teachers from the New York metropolitan area.

63rd Financial Literacy & Economic Education Conference

September 27-28, 2024

Thank you to all of the teachers that joined us in Cleveland on September 27-28 for our 63rd Financial Literacy and Economic Education Conference! It is always great to see teachers from across the nation gather to share ideas on how to bring economics and personal finance into their teaching.

At the Conference, teachers had an all-access pass to over 45 sessions led by experts in the field, including hands-on workshops, lectures, and roundtable conversations. The overwhelming feedback from attending teachers was that our Conference is an excellent opportunity to earn fall CEUs, network with like-minded teachers, bring back high-quality resources and lesson plans to their school, while also exploring all that Cleveland and the surrounding area had to offer!

Join us next year for our 64th Financial Literacy & Economic Education Conference in New Orleans on October 17-18, 2025. Mark your calendars! We look forward to seeing you there!
