Sharon Lechter congratulates first Phoenix YMCA Money Smart graduates

Sharon Lechter congratulates first Phoenix YMCA Money Smart graduatesAddressing a room of women at the first ever YMCA Money Smart graduation, Sharon Lechter congratulated graduates and encouraged them to take the next step in their education. “Go out and help others learn what you have learned here,” said Lechter to the four graduates of different socioeconomic conditions and generations. The graduation ceremony was the culmination of a several weeks long program designed to encourage enrollees to be financially literate and make money smart decisions. Over the course of the program, the four women met with various experts and counselors in various financial fields. During the half-hour graduation, Sharon asked each student to name something they learned and found helpful from the course. Each woman touched on something that impacted them the most, everything from saving for retirement to the pitfalls of credit cards. Sharon will participate as a speaker in the next Money Smart program in the Fall.
