Investor Education @ Your Library
The Department of Insurance, Securities and Banking (DISB) has partnered with the District of Columbia Public Library, the American Library Association (ALA), the Investor Protection Trust (IPT) and the editors of Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine to provide a consumer education program targeting adults on the basics of investing at libraries throughout the District of Columbia.
The 90-minute seminar consists of a presentation on the regulation of securities by DISB, investor protection and education initiatives that can benefit District residents, investor education exercises, six systemic investment steps, and an opportunity to follow-up one-on-one certified investment advisers that are licensed by DISB.
Investor Education @ Your Library® is a national pilot program funded by a grant from IPT, a nonprofit organization dedicated to investor education, and the program is part of the ALA’s Campaign for America’s Libraries. Investor Education @ Your Library® materials may be picked-up at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library, 901 G Street, NW, Washington, DC. Check your local Public Broadcasting Stations to view the IPT’s national “MoneyTrack” series.
