Webinar: What’s Next for City Financial Empowerment Initiatives?
This afternoon we’re hosting a webinar focused on the history of Bank On and other financial empowerment initiatives fostered at the municipal level. The webinar will focus on questions such as:
- What have we learned from Bank On initiatives over the past five years and what is the future of the Bank On strategy?
- What promising financial empowerment strategies are emerging at the local level?
- What national supports are coming on line to support city-level financial empowerment work?
The event will feature these speakers:
Leigh Phillips, San Francisco Office of Financial Empowerment
Leigh will reflect on growing Bank on San Francisco and her new paper, Building Better Bank Ons.
Cathie Mahon, New York City Office of Financial Empowerment
Cathie will discuss the expansion of the SaveNYC initiative and reflect on the past three years of growing the nation’s first Office of Financial Empowerment.
Ida Rademacher, Corporation for Enterprise Development
Ida will talk about her scan of this emerging field and CFED’s new report, Building Economic Security in America’s Cities: New Municipal Strategies for Asset Building and Financial Empowerment.
Matt Pippin, U.S. Department of Treasury
Matt will talk about plans for the Treasury’s upcoming Bank on USA initiative.
We also want to from the audience about other local financial empowerment efforts. What do you see as the most promising opportunities to help low income families in your communities? What are ways to stretch limited budget dollars? Our presenters will kick off the conversation by presenting and reflecting on their own work, before we hear from you.
