As more states adopt financial education requirements, an important question remains: how do we move from policy to implementation?

We're excited to share that Financial Beginnings CEO Ronecca Norvell will be speaking at the National Association of State Treasurers Treasury Management Training Symposium alongside Kira Traore of Chime, Tim Ranzetta of Next Gen Personal Finance, and Shelby Patrice of Budget University.

Together, they'll explore practical strategies for scaling financial education through public-private partnerships, educator support, financial coaching, and innovative delivery models that help individuals build lifelong financial capability.

Looking forward to contributing to this important conversation about the future of financial education and what it takes to deliver meaningful impact at scale.

Financial Literacy Month may be coming to a close, but the momentum around financial education is only growing.

Across the country, more states are requiring personal finance education before graduation—recognizing that students deserve to enter adulthood with real-world money skills.

At Financial Beginnings, we help educators meet this moment through our free Educator Training Center, with tools, curriculum, and classroom-ready resources designed to make implementation easier.

The month may end. The mission continues.
