A federal bankruptcy judge from Rochester, N.Y., who for years has spearheaded a consumer education program on financial literacy, lauded credit unions for taking a lead role in the literacy movement and singled out a new venture of the Credit Union Association of Colorado.
U.S. Judge John C. Ninfo II, who is founder and chairman of the volunteer-based CAREprogram on literacy, said in endorsing the Foolproof program of the Association of Colorado he in recent months has witnessed "some very encouraging" CU endeavors including those in his home state by CUs and their foundations.
