The conference will be geared specifically towards the financial and investing challenges faced by members of the military and veterans. Those in attendance can choose workshops led by experts in the morning and afternoon sessions. The conference will provide service members, veterans, and their families with the knowledge and skills that are needed to cultivate and protect their finances.
Allegheny County has one of the highest veteran populations in all of Pennsylvania. PA ranks third in the nation for the number of personnel serving in the military, as well as the number of deployed National Guard troops. So Pittsburgh is the perfect place to hold such a conference. Also, active duty military personnel have to keep up with their finances and have good credit to maintain their security clearances.
Our very own Heather Murray and Noelle Irving will be presenting about ‘Understanding Credit Reports and Credit Scores’ and ‘Budgeting: Build Wealth, Not Debt’ in the morning and afternoon sessions. Be sure to register and check them out! You’ll gain some interesting and very useful information!
The “Making $ense of Finance” conference is made possible through the Pennsylvania Military Finance Alliance, a cooperative effort of the PA Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, the PA Department of Banking and Securities, the PA Office of Attorney General, The Heinz Endowments, Army OneSource, the Better Business Bureau of Western Pennsylvania, Liberty USO, and Advantage Credit Counseling Service.
