About ERDA's Inaugural Personal Finance Conference: The Money Makeover
At ERDA, they believe that financial counseling is not a service that should be reserved for the wealthy. Rather, it is a critical resource to which all families, regardless of income, should have access. Through its Building Wealth Academy (a program that pairs personal financial counselors with public housing residents), ERDA is hosting The Money Makeover: Renew Your Relationship with Money, a conference that will bring nationally recognized personal finance experts to the residents of Queensbridge Houses -- the largest public housing development in the U.S.
The Conference will include breakfast with an expert panel, small group financial workshops, and a luncheon with an acclaimed keynote speaker, and all conference participants will have access to ERDA's free, one-on-one financial counseling services.
Special conference guests will include: Glinda Bridgforth (bestselling author, Girl, Get Your Credit Straight! and Oprah guest), Trevor Delaney (Editorial Director, Personal Finance Group, Black Enterprise Magazine), Kathryn Finney (renowned blogger, author of "The Budget Fashionista," and Today Show guest), Mitty Owens (Senior Deputy Director, NYC Office of Financial Empowerment), and Ivory Johnson (Director of Financial Planning, Scarborough Capital Management).
