Classes will be done in English and Spanish, and will include topics such as; writing a budget, saving for retirement, planning for college, getting out of debt, learning to read a credit report and how to buy a home. Sharon lent weight to the partnership as a member of the President’s Advisory Council on Financial Literacy. At the breakfast and ribbon cutting event Sharon was presented with an award by Arizona Federal CEO Robert Westad for her dedication to financial education, especially amongst children. Sharon will maintain an active relationship with the two organizations as they progress in their partnership.
