These workshops are designed to cover a range of important financial topics, including budgeting, saving, investing, and credit management. Participants will also have the opportunity to ask questions and receive personalized advice from financial experts.
"Financial literacy is a critical skill that can significantly impact the quality of life and economic stability of individuals and families. We are thrilled to partner with MCDC and the Montana State Library to bring these valuable workshops to people across Montana," said Jordyn Rogers, Executive Director, at RDI Financial Wellness.
MCDC is equally enthusiastic about the initiative. Tracy McIntyre, Executive Director at MCDC, stated, "Empowering women with financial knowledge not only benefits them personally but also strengthens our communities. These workshops are an important step towards achieving financial equity and independence for women in Montana."
The Montana State Library is committed to supporting educational initiatives that benefit residents. "Libraries are more than just places for books; they are community hubs for learning and growth. We are excited to host these workshops and contribute to the financial well-being of women in our state," said Bobbi deMontigny, Lifelong Learning librarian at the Montana State Library.
The workshops are free of charge, and everyone is encouraged to attend. Registration is recommended, as space may be limited. To register, please visit https://forms.office.com/r/uXdfjPC6Mk or contact your local library.
