Year in Review
2010 was a banner year for Colorado Jump$tart Coalition. As a result of the recently enacted state legislation requiring the addition of personal financial literacy standards in grades P-12, we co-hosted our first Personal Financial Literacy Summit with the Colorado Department of Education for 135 public school administrators from across Colorado. Our second annual Money Smart Colorado Week included 75 partners who provided a total of 140 personal finance sessions throughout the state. 165 attendees enjoyed the Money Smart Week wrap-up luncheon and key note speakers: Tom Hoenig, President of the FRB Kansas City and Cary Kennedy, Colorado State Treasurer. The capstone to the week was a free workshop for 75 educators! We entered into a collaborative agreement with Great-West Life and Annuity in September and hired our first paid part-time Executive Director.
