Please join us for Oregon Jump$tart's Quarterly Meeting.  These regular meetings provide attendees with the opportunity to network and share resources and best practices with others involved in the financial literacy movement.  At each meeting attendees are able to share information with the group about their financial literacy initiatives.  Lunch is provided and a speaker will speak on a timely financial literacy topic.

The first quarter speaker will be Washington Jump$tart Coalition's Board Chair, Amy O'Donnell.  Amy will speak on the activites of the Washington chapter, best practices and upcoming innitiatives. This is a wonderful opportunity for Oregon to find out more about the financial literacy efforts in Washington.
