Letter from Vince Shorb – CEO, NFEC

Dear NFEC Patrons & Supporters,

Over the last decade, many people have thanked us here at the NFEC for the things we’ve done with the hope of improving lives. Now it’s time for us to turn around and thank the individuals who make our efforts possible: YOU.

I want to personally express my deep and heartfelt gratitude for your support. Whether you became a subscriber to our email list, shared posts on social media, or actively hosted a financial literacy event, YOU are the true National Financial Educators Council. We cannot do this work without you.

Your support is directly responsible for our ability to reach people. With you at our side, we built the capacity to raise people’s financial capabilities and thus make their lives better. Because of you, we have reached people in all 50 united states and in more than 50 countries around the globe.

Many of you have shared ideas, comments, and even some of your ideal visions for a financially literate world. I can’t overstate how much value we place on your feedback, which has shaped every single one of our 80 financial literacy assets. We plan to continue expanding our crowd-sourcing model and value your unique perspective, experience, and talents so much that we’ve created a special “Thoughts” page for you on our website: www.FinancialEducatorsCouncil.org/Feedback-Center.

Our mission is clear – continue our path to deploy programming solutions that are scalable and support the needs of our partners and clients.

There is a cure for the financial insecurity epidemic: financial education. It’s time for the general community, policymakers, and individual citizens to understand that – both the illness and the cure. The NFEC’s plan will mark a significant push to mainstream the financial wellness message and, with your help, we can do it.

Again, I commend you for becoming such an integral part of the financial literacy movement. And I thank you for being a partner with the NFEC. Together we can help people avoid the financial worries that financial illiteracy brings, and help them live fulfilled, rewarding lives.

Thank you!

Vince Shorb
