Impactful Financial Education: How Cooperative Extension is Making a Difference

Financial educators and practitioners need to provide impactful educational programs and be able to communicate those specific consumer impacts to our constituents at a local, state, and national level. However, providing the evidence of impact can be challenging. Attendees at this pre-symposium will take an active role to increase their knowledge and confidence for communicating the value of family resource management programming. Participants will learn ways to evaluate various levels of impact, communicate that impact by using infographic and storyboarding techniques, and have an opportunity be a part of an impact gathering session to better tell the Extension story. The session format includes a keynote presentation and/or expert panel discussion, round table conversations, and fast-paced Ignite-like presentations. This session will be of interest to all AFCPE professionals, especially Extension professionals and those who work directly with clientele in counseling and/or community settings. #moneyextension17
