As we continue grow our programs that provide financial literacy and education for people of all stages, ages and abilities, our organization is growing internally as well. In addition to Rhonda Klch, Executive Director , 23 years specializing in debt management, and Lisa Strahs-Lorenc, Director of Operations, non-profit background since 1978, we have added the following industry professionals: Steven Cera, Director of Business Development, 8 years specializing in consumer protection law and 19 years in residential real estate law; Michael Watt, Director of Corporate Development 30 years advocating for Long Island's small business owners and young professionals. and Jordan Kaplan, 25 years financial and credit management specialist. That’s a combined experience of 136 years!!!
As we continue to grow our non-profit from the inside and out, we will continue to reach out to provide workshops, classes, assemblies and seminars that span the educational audience from K-post-secondary, the corporate world (from small to large), and community service organizations (other non-profits). Our work is crucial to the short and long-term goals of individuals from all walks of life and in all situations. This includes helping children learn about money through senior citizens learning about estate planning…and everyone in between. We are always seeking industry professionals who would like to get involved. Join us in this crucial cause!
