BROOMALL, Penn.–The Credit Union Network for Financial Literacy (CUNFL) has named Gigi Hyland, executive eirector of the National Credit Union Foundation, to The Berenstain Bears Financial Literacy Program Advisory Board.
“I’m excited to work with CUNFL and board members to help improve the financial literacy of the next generation of consumers,” said Hyland in a statement. “The Berenstain Bears Financial Literacy Program is an engaging education and marketing initiative reaching thousands of elementary school students. I look forward to continuing the partnership with the Foundation and watching this impactful program grow exponentially.”
“Gigi brings to CUNFL keen insight on financial literacy trends,” said Rick Durante, National Director of The Berenstain Bears Financial Literacy Program. “In just a short time, our relationship with the Foundation has proven to be mutually beneficial, as we’ve been able to fill a niche in financial education for the youngest learners and the Foundation has introduced The Berenstain Bears Financial Literacy Program to a host of credit unions.”
The Berenstain Bears Financial Literacy Program earned The National Credit Union Foundation’s endorsement in February 2016.
