But with great opportunity comes great responsibility. If credit is misunderstood or misused, what had once been a dream come true can feel more like a burden. The more consumers know about credit, the more likely their success in reaching personal finance goals.
As a professional in the credit and collection industry, you see the need for credit education every day. You provide a valuable service that keeps our economy working and ensures that credit will continue to be available to consumers and businesses alike. By joining this year’s National Credit Education Week (NCEW), you will make a difference in the lives of both today’s and tomorrow’s credit users.
ACA International developed this planning kit to provide event ideas and resources to help organizations participate in NCEW. We hope you’ll find this kit helpful as you bring the important message of financial literacy to your community through this public service campaign.
As always, ACA welcomes your feedback. For NCEW questions or suggestions, please contact Mark Schiffman at +1(952) 259-2124, or schiffman@acainternational.org.
