The Nevada Bankers Association is partnering with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and USDA Rural Development to host a statewide Financial Literacy Summit aimed at expanding financial education and improving access to banking for Nevada high school students.
Announced March 31, the virtual event is scheduled for Tuesday, April 7, from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and will be held via Microsoft Teams. The summit comes as part of Financial Literacy Month and is designed to bring together a wide range of stakeholders committed to supporting students—particularly those from low- and moderate-income households—across the Silver State.
The event is open not only to financial institutions throughout Nevada, but also to educators, community organizations and local agencies, all of whom play a role in helping students build a stronger understanding of personal finance and gain access to essential banking services.
“We’re bringing together stakeholders connected to education and financial literacy at this summit to improve access to banking and promote financial literacy for local students,” said Phyllis Gurgevich, President and CEO of the Nevada Bankers Association. “We want to foster actionable collaboration opportunities that will provide financial education and affordable bank accounts for all Nevada high school students.”
Organizers say the goal of the summit is to spark meaningful collaboration that leads to real solutions—whether that’s expanding financial education programs in schools or increasing access to affordable, student-friendly bank accounts.
Those interested in attending can register through April 6 at nvbankers.org/attend. A meeting link will be provided directly to registered participants ahead of the event.
The Nevada Bankers Association serves as the united voice of the state’s diverse banking industry, with members focused on delivering financial resources and services that support economic growth, job creation and long-term prosperity across Nevada.
