Inspiring Morning at the NYC Women’s Breakfast
The 2023 NYC Women’s Breakfast was an inspiring event! CEE Board Chair Rebecca Patterson led a fantastic panel with Constance Hunter (Executive Vice President, Global Head of Strategy & ESG at AIG) and Holly H. MacDonald (Chief Investment Officer at Bessemer Trust). They spoke about their outlook on the U.S. economy, upcoming actions from the Fed, interest rates, and potential challenges and opportunities with China.
We also heard from current Invest in Girls students–the next generation of leaders in finance! The students shared their experiences and how the program has made a difference in their knowledge and interests.We are grateful for all who attended. It was great to connect with leaders in the NYC community who share our mission to help youth gain financial and economic knowledge for life.
About the Council for Economic Education
The Council for Economic Education’s (CEE’s) mission is to equip K-12 students with the tools and knowledge of personal finance and economics so that they can make better decisions for themselves, their families, and their communities which connects to and strengthens our broader economy. We carry out our mission primarily by providing resources and training to K-12 educators and have done so for nearly 75 years. EconEdLink, our free online educator gateway for economic and personal finance lessons, attracts approximately 450,000 users annually and nearly two-thirds of the tens of thousands of teachers we train are in low- to moderate-income schools. CEE also provides young people with programs to prepare them for their financial futures and help them understand the economic impact of real-world events. Invest in Girls, our program for high school girls, and our National Economics and Personal Finance Challenges together inspire and motivate over 30,000 high school students annually. All resources and programs are educator developed and delivered by our nearly 200 affiliates nationally. We also advocate for more and better education in personal finance and economics, leveraging our biennial Survey of the States.
