National Credit Education Week

National Credit Education Week -- April 18 - 24, 2010

"CREDIT DOESN'T GROW ON TREES: GO GREEN!"

The theme for the 2010 National Credit Education Week -- "Credit Doesn't Grow on Trees: Go Green!" -- was chosen not only to educate consumers on the importance of personal financial literacy, but also the negative impact debt has on the overall economy.

National Credit Education Week is sponsored by ACA International, ACA International Education Foundation and CBM Credit Education Foundation, Inc. in conjunction with the national Jump$tart Coalition's Personal Financial Literacy for youth month.
