2009 PHENND Annual Conference

The 2009 Annual PHENND Conference will be held Friday, February 27, 2009
at Chestnut Hill College in Philadelphia.

The theme this year will be "Financial Asset Development." It will cover
topics such as Volunteer Income Tax Assistance, public benefits
campaign, financial education and much more. All of these topics are
critical to help low-income communities become financially
self-sufficient. As an organization dedicated to campus-community
partnership, we will focus on how colleges and universities can play a
role in these efforts.

The *Keynote Speaker* for the conference will be Karen Gross, President
of Southern Vermont College. President Karen Gross has had a long and
distinguished career as an academic and community development leader.
For more than two decades, she was a Professor of Law at New York Law
School where she specialized in consumer finance and over-indebtedness.
In addition, she was, until recently, the President and CEO of an
educational non-profit organization that designs, implements and studies
programs to improve the financial literacy skills of consumers called
The Coalition for Consumer Bankruptcy Debtor Education. Read more
