goals
Reevaluate marketing strategies

Future plans and

improvement
Using our experience and volunteers who

attended are a potential pool of candidates

for volunteer run presentations
Student involvement in presentation will
increase financial literacy retention

Tips for other chapters

Utilize local resources for teaching classes.

Ie. Banks, private financial firms, credit

union. Compensation
Personal marketing is much more effective
at increasing turnout

will reduce mistakes
Survey students to help anticipate high
demand of financial topics
