6/16/09: Almost one year after attending the first-ever White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives Compassion in Action Roundtable on Financial Literacy, Nouveau Riche CEO Jim Piccolo returns to Washington D.C. for the vitally important Global Financial Literacy Summit on June 17th. Headlining this invitation-only Summit is U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke “helping America and the world to begin the process of effectively ‘turning the page,’ towards viable long-term, systemic and sustainable solutions to our economic problems.” (http://summit09.operationhope.org/) Keynote speakers include FDIC Chair Sheila Bair and civil rights icon and HOPE global spokesman Ambassador Andrew Young, principal aide to the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., among other notable speakers. The Summit will hone in on understanding the “language of money,” the psychological aspects and the contributing factors such as culture and environment, how money represents stability, opportunity and access, or lack thereof the aforementioned, and the impact of this language on the world at large. This Summit “will frame the issue of financial literacy…as an essential, core ingredient to mid-to-long-term economic recovery and stability.”

Fresh out of the Global Summit, Jim Piccolo will take part in a Special Edition Financial Literacy Workshop for Nouveau Riche Community Members in the Washington D.C. Metro Area, where he will share his knowledge about financial literacy and building a brighter, more prosperous future. During this workshop, Community Members will have the chance to join in the new trend of financially literate Super-preneurs.
