Best Prep has been one of my favorite organizations to support for the past 20 years.  As we continue to promote the importance of personal financial literacy for high school graduation, Best Prep is one of the leading organizations helping every Minnesota student advance their knowledge of personal finance.

Financial literacy is the theme of BestPrep’s 2026 Educational Forum on Wednesday, February 11, from 5:15 – 8:30 pm at the Minneapolis Convention Center. The evening will be emceed by WCCO Radio Host Jordana Green and feature John Hope Bryant, the Founder of  Operation HOPE, as the keynote speaker. John is a nationally recognized leader in financial literacy and economic opportunity.

I have 30 seats available for this entertaining and inspiring event. If you’re interested in attending, please contact Stacey Looney to reserve your spot. You are welcome to bring a guest. For more information, please visit the BestPrep website.

We look forward to seeing you there!
