With current economic conditions, money management was identified as a significant need of women in Western Kentucky. This determination gave rise to the yearly seminar “Money Sense for Women,” which brought together the expertise of the Family and Consumer Sciences Agent and community partners such as local financial institutions and women’s organizations. The free seminar has taught local women credit and savings basics, avoiding identity theft, and skills for dealing with financial crisis. A survey of participants revealed that 87% had gained knowledge that would spur them to change their financial practices. Five months later 60% of the participants reported that they had improved their financial situation based upon skills they gained at the seminar.
