May 25, 2006

INDIANA--Addressing our nation's financial literacy problem continues to be a "hot button" with Congress, the Bush Administration, the media, and others. Indiana's credit unions received positive media coverage on this topic today in the form of a column by League President John McKenzie in the INside INdiana Business electronic newsletter. The column was titled “Helping Teens With Personal Financial Management.” The daily electronic newsletter is e-mailed to 35,000 people including many Indiana government and business leaders.

The column mentions that more than 10,000 Indiana students have been introduced to financial concepts through contact with credit unions in the state during the past 12 months.

“Credit unions are taking a leadership role across Indiana with efforts to address the need for improved financial literacy, explained McKenzie. “We also appreciate their work to promote youth involvement at credit unions.”
