The “Virginia Financial Empowerment Series”
will feature FICO’s Score A Better Future workshops
Global analytics software leader, FICO (NYSE: FICO), and U.S.
Senator Mark Warner’s office are teaming up to host a series of
Score A Better Future™ credit education workshops as part of the
“Virginia Financial Empowerment Series” in the Richmond area March
19-21.
The Virginia Financial Empowerment Series is an initiative led
by Senator Warner's office, dedicated to advancing and fostering
best practices in financial literacy among Virginians. Facilitated
by FICO’s Score A Better Future program, the workshops in the
series seek to educate individuals about financial literacy tied to
credit scores. The workshops strive to enable attendees to apply
their new learnings to improve their understanding of their
finances and contribute to an overall enhancement of their
financial well-being.
"Financial literacy empowers individuals to make informed
decisions, build wealth, and secure their financial well-being,”
said Senator Warner. “I’m thrilled to kick off this weeklong
series with the support of FICO and the Score A Better Future
program to help Virginians take control of their financial
futures.”
Score A Better Future is a free credit empowerment program
created as a continuation of FICO’s longstanding commitment to
financial education. The workshops will feature FICO education
experts who will discuss how FICO® Scores impact lending decisions,
what key factors make up the FICO Score, how people can improve
their understanding of financial health, as well as debunk myths
and share facts about FICO Scores.
“Financial literacy education is a key catalyst for empowering
people to achieve their financial goals,” says Julie May, vice
president and general manager of Scores at FICO. “The strong
response to our Score A Better Future program represents the
importance of this topic, and we trust Virginians will leave the
program feeling equipped with valuable information about credit and
FICO Scores.”
