Iannicola’s Remarks to Virginia Financial Literacy Summit

Today, U.S. Treasury Deputy Assistant Secretary for Financial Education Dan Iannicola traveled to Richmond, VA, to participate in the first-ever Virginia Financial Literacy Summit.  The following is an excerpt of Iannicola's remarks:   

 "This summit brings together leaders from business, education, government and the non-profit world to improve financial education in Virginia.  By raising the level of financial literacy we can produce better students, employees, consumers and investors.  The leaders here today realize that, when it comes to financial education, their organizations have much to give, but even more to gain."
