WASHINGTON — CUNA has posted its National Financial Literacy Summit report based on the compendium held last fall.

CUNA Chairman Juri Valdov, president/CEO of Northwest Federal Credit Union, assembled summit participants from credit unions, federal government, and elsewhere in Washington, D.C. last September. “The report will help shine a light on the need for credit unions, leagues, CUNA, and other national credit union organizations to generate additional discussion, spark new ideas, and move the movement closer to achieving the shared goal of fostering financial independence through financial education,” he commented.

The 41-page report highlights speaker presentations, workgroup discussions for youth, adult, and underserved markets, and a listing of financial literacy resources submitted by invited participants within the credit union system.

“Many entities are active on financial literacy, but only credit unions were born to champion this cause,” Valdov wrote in the report. The report can be found at CUNA's Web site, www.cuna.org.
