We are proud to report that 50 classroom sessions were held in 8 different schools as part of the BBA’s M. Ellen Carpenter Financial Literacy Program! This could not have been possible without the dedication of our 109 volunteers, who traveled to classrooms across the Commonwealth to impart critical financial wisdom upon 476 students. We also thank the 15 teachers who opened up their classrooms for our volunteers, and we look forward to continuing to work with them in the future!
We also want to extend a special thank-you to the federal bankruptcy judges who took time out of their busy schedules to help with this program. Our gratitude goes out to Chief Judge Christopher J. Panos, Judge Melvin S. Hoffman, Judge Frank J. Bailey, Judge Elizabeth D. Katz, and Judge Janet E. Bostwick. Additional thanks to our Western, MA partners – Hampden County Bar Association & Hampshire Country Bar Association for helping to make this program a statewide initiative.
The M. Ellen Carpenter Financial Literacy Program is made possible by the Charles P. Normandin Fund. This fund provides critical support for the bankruptcy-related pro bono, public service, and civic programs of the Boston Bar Association.
