The Financial Freedom & Economic Stability Initiative is the brainchild of Mr. Eddy Sumar and spearheaded by the Inland Empire Regional Chamber of Commerce (IERCC) championed by IERCC's Chief Advisor, the California State Treasurer Fiona Ma.
Financial literacy is a right of every individual. Fiscally responsible individuals are productive members of their communities and society at large. The world needs financially savvy individuals, families, and business communities to thrive and prosper. Financial literacy and mastering its concepts can lead to increased wealth, enhanced well-being, and long-term financial security.
When every individual is financially strong, families become strong. Strong communities with financially strong businesses can lead to economic stability and prosperity. We believe that all residents of the state of California should become financially literate. We all need to aim to become financially free and become Masters of our financial destiny!
The Financial Freedom & Economic Stability initiative begins here, in Southern California's Inland Region. Financial literacy training and workshop dates to be announced soon...
