Florida Financial Literacy Council

In an ongoing effort to increase financial literacy awareness the first meeting of the Financial Literacy Council was held on June 25, 2007, at the Capitol Complex in Tallahassee, FL.

Members of the Financial Literacy Council include: Paul Auslander, Lou Buccino, Liana Fernandez Fox, Richard George, Cassandra J. Grayson, Doug Heinlen, Deidre Newton, Obdulio Piedra and Dulce M. Suarez-Resnick. Cassandra J. Grayson, currently serves as Chair of the Financial Literacy Council.

The council, authorized in 2006 by House Bill 825, was created to study the financial problems that affect consumers, particularly young persons, seniors, working adults and small business owners, which arise from a lack of basic knowledge of financial issues. The council will also develop recommendations to aid the Department of Financial Services in developing programs and resources aimed at increasing financial literacy among Floridians

Through outreach coordinators, the Department of Financial Services aggressively reaches out to local communities to educate consumers on topics such as the wise use of credit cards for teens, credit card identity theft, hurricane preparedness, small business security, life insurance and first-time homebuyer workshops.
