Asset Development for Community-Based Organizations

The economic health of a community is directly related to the financial health of its local residents. A major challenge in community development today concerns identifying and implementing ways to expand asset development and wealth accumulation opportunities and resources to more citizens rather than to fewer in order to have more citizens realize the American dream.

The course explores factors that can increase a community-based organization's ability to attract and retain high quality staff and engage constituents in understanding income protection and retirement planning tools and tax-related savings techniques. This course is deigned to provide you with a better understanding of personal finance and asset development concepts that could enhance the financial well being of your employees, clients, and/or constituencies. Join instructor Dr. Denise Williams-Shannon, and learn about asset development techniques and strategies that executive directors, program officers, and board members can bring to their organization, staff, and constituents.
