Podcast appearances and mentions of Billy J Hensley

Episode 210: NEFE in November. Part 1. There's no question that personal finance can be a complex and often confusing topic. With so many different products, services, and terms to understand, it's no wonder that so many people feel overwhelmed when it comes to managing their money. Would a financial literacy course have helped you on your path? Do you think every teen should take a financial literacy course before graduation to help with foundational financial skill sets? The good news is that there are organizations like NEFE (National Endowment for Financial Education) that are dedicated to helping people understand and take control of their financial well-being, and that includes teens. 30 years ago, NEFE began their commitment to further the field of financial well-being.  And in celebration of this milestone my team and I have created this special series called NEFE In November. Each week for the month of November, I invite an employee of NEFE to discuss some of the most pressing issues facing personal finance education in the US today. In this episode, it's my pleasure to have President & CEO of NEFE, Dr Billy Hensley, back again to discuss a recent NEFE poll that explores the need for effective financial education in schools. Learn more about NEFE's recent article and poll; Most Adults Support Financial Education Mandates. Billy J. Hensley, Ph.D., is the president and CEO of the National Endowment for Financial Education. Since his appointment in 2018, Dr. Billy has led NEFE through the development and execution of its first strategic plan, sharpening the organization's mission, vision and core values, and cultivating broader transparency and effectiveness. He is charging the organization to redefine financial education through more focused philanthropy, research and collaboration. To learn more about this episode, visit: https://go2.money/schools

In 2021, the National Endowment for Financial Education and the Council for Economic Education hosted five financial education policy convenings to discuss the most pertinent issues in the field. Nearly 250 stakeholders from 44 states joined this invitation-only event. The goal? Provide an open forum to learn and listen about the opportunities, technicalities and challenges encountered when considering statewide financial education policy and programming. The outcomes from these convenings are the subject of this series of podcasts. NEFE President and CEO, Dr. Billy J. Hensley, and NEFE Policy and Advocacy Director, Raven Newberry, will sit down with some of the people involved with the convening's development to analyze how the field can turn the lessons learned into actionable next steps.
