RAISE Texas Summit 2018
Hosted by RAISE Texas and the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas
Many Texans do not have the financial resilience necessary to deal with an emergency, a large unanticipated expense, or worse, a natural disaster or loss of a job. It is essential to have the resources and tools available to help increase the financial health of families in Texas. But, we also know that there are still limitations to the daily systems in place to help families manage their finances to cover family needs, some of the family “wants” and to save for the future or unexpected expenses.
The RAISE Texas 10th Anniversary Summit focused on the tools, programs and services available to help Texans take control of their finances daily, provide opportunities to invest in their future and increase their ability to get through every season of life.
