Asset Building: The Path to Economic Stability

11:30 a.m. - 4 p.m. | Wednesday, Nov. 4, 2009

(Registration begins at 11 a.m. Lunch will be served.)

The Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, Louisville Branch, in conjunction with the Barren River Asset Building Coalition, is presenting this summit to increase awareness of community-based programs that can help working low- and moderate-income families in the Bowling Green, Ky., area become economically self-sufficient.

Topics will include individual development accounts (IDAs), the Barren River Asset Building Coalition, asset building in the workplace, financial education and credit scores, asset development in microenterprise, and housing options in today’s economy.

Luncheon speaker

Amy Shir, director of Raise KY, a statewide asset-building coalition in Kentucky, will provide an overview of CFED’s 2009 – 2010 Asset and Opportunity Scorecard. The scorecard is organized by state, race, gender and income and assesses policies states use to foster asset building and economic opportunities. Attendees will find out where Kentucky ranks.
