The FDIC is pleased to sponsor Credit Builders Alliance’s (CBA) signature Credit as an Asset training on July 8 from 12:45 – 4:30 p.m. at the Loews Madison Hotel in Washington, DC.*
The training is designed to help non-profit community-based organizations, governmental entities, and mission-oriented financial institutions enhance their understanding of credit building as an asset building strategy as well as best practices in credit education. This interactive training provides participants with an opportunity to learn from each other and about the growing field of credit building including:
· The importance of a good credit history as a financial asset;
· The value of credit reports as a credit education and credit building tool;
· Promoting access to responsible financial products; and
· Measuring client credit outcomes.
Participants will also share information about local initiatives aimed at bringing the underserved consumers into the financial mainstream, including financial education and capability, and explore how credit building can help improve client and organizational outcomes.
The full day of trainings is free to participants. To register for this event, please click on this link: http://www.eventbrite.com/e/2015-cba-credit-building-symposium-tickets-15193660648?aff=eac2
