Webinar: Local Innovation. National Impact.

What's Next for City Financial Empowerment Initiatives

Tuesday, April 26th, 2011
2:00 pm - 3:30 pm EST
11:00 am - 12:30 pm PST

Join CFED's Vice President of Policy and Research, Ida Rademacher, for a webinar on the latest innovations around city financial empowerment, hosted by the New America Foundation.

Across the country, cities are emerging as engines of change to educate, empower, and protect low-income residents to help them build savings and make the most of their money. Join experts for a conversation about the cutting edge of financial empowerment at the local level. We'll explore questions such as:

• What have we learned from Bank On initiatives over the past five years and what is the future of the Bank On strategy?
• What promising financial empowerment strategies are emerging at the local level?
• What national supports are coming on line to support city-level financial empowerment work?

We also want to hear your thoughts on your own local financial empowerment efforts. What do you see as the most promising opportunities to help low income families in your communities? What are ways to stretch limited budget dollars? Our presenters will kick off the conversation by presenting and reflecting on their own work, before we hear from you.
