Financial Literacy: TEACH IT! was created by ECB in cooperation with the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions and Wisconsin Public Television. The project was guided by a 20-member advisory committee.
AWARD: On March 30, 2010 we received the Governor’s 2010 Financial Literacy Award for Financial Literacy: TEACH IT. ECB was among six individuals and nine organizations selected by Governor Jim Doyle to receive this award which recognizes excellence in promoting money management and financial skills.
