Fostering Financial Education in Maine Schools
11th Annual Conference

Join us for the 11th annual Fostering Financial Education in Maine Schools Conference, Maine's premier financial education training event for K-12 educators, higher education professionals, counselors, and community educators. This year’s two-day event will include an Unconference and a FinCamp (presented by NextGen Personal Finance), as well as a full-day traditional conference. Attendees can register for the full two days, or can attend any one of the following: 
May 7th: Financial Education Unconference

Take charge of your professional development at this first-of-its-kind financial education Unconference in Maine. Unconferences are frequently named among the best professional development experiences available where the lines between attendees and presenters are erased, and ideas and sharing flow freely. Attendees can learn from others, share a topic, or present/facilitate a discussion. Check out these links for more information.

May 7th: NextGen Personal Finance FINCAMP!
Tim Ranzetta, NGPF founder, will be on hand to facilitate the ever-popular NGPF FinCamp. Attendees will be eligible to receive 8.5 credits towards their NGPF Academy Profile for attendance at the Unconference and FinCamp.
