This year we celebrated 10 years of the Higher Education Financial Wellness Alliance with our 2024 Summit at the University of Pittsburgh. The Summit, and now the Alliance, have operated under different brands and governance over this 10 year period, but the core community has remained the same. Each year, I am reminded of the passion, openness, and engagement of our community. As we have navigated the last 10 years I am incredibly thankful for the work of Phil Schuman to guide this community and Indiana University Bloomington for serving as the home and backbone for the Alliance. We have had so many great partners along the way including National Endowment for Financial Education, Fidelity Investments, and Student Connections that have helped to chart the course of the Alliance. Additionally, we have had so many staff and Directorate members that have left their mark on this community (too many to name) and these individuals have committed to keeping a (predominately) volunteer run organization alive! This year we owe a huge thank you to Joel Philistin, MPA, AFC®, Donna Sonnett, Janet McLaughlin, Hank Crawford, M.S., and the University of Pitt students for an incredible conference experience in my hometown! Finally, we could not continue to operate such a vibrant community without the support of our sponsors. Thank you to Fidelity Investments, PNC, AFCPE® (Association for Financial Counseling and Planning Education®), National Endowment for Financial Education, Intuit, Singleton Foundation for Financial Literacy and Entrepreneurship, STOCKTRAK LTD, AccessLex Institute, Arbol, CIBC, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), Financial Counseling Network, FitBUX, Peach, PHEAA, Personal Finance for PhDs, Security Exchange Commission, Student Connections, and Troutwood!
