WASHINGTON, DC (December 8, 2009) — Society for Financial
Education and Professional Development, Inc. (SFEPD) was selected as a
recipient of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) Chairman’s
Award for Excellence and Innovation in Financial Education for the
Atlanta Region. Theodore R. Daniels, Founder and CEO of the Society for
Financial Education and Professional Development, Inc. accepted the
award.
FDIC announced on December 3, 2009 the recipients of the FDIC Chairman’s
Award for Innovation in Financial Education at the National Press Club
in Washington, DC. The primary purpose of the FDIC Chairman's Award is
to recognize excellence and innovation in financial education, and also
highlight potentially replicable best practices. These non-monetary
awards are the final component of the FDIC’s 75th anniversary observance
and meant to demonstrate the Corporation’s ongoing commitment to
financial education and helping consumers use financial services
effectively.
“I commend everyone nominated for the award for their dedication to
empowering consumers to make informed financial decisions by providing
financial education in their own unique or innovative ways,” said FDIC
Chairman Sheila Bair. “Over the FDIC’s more than 75-year history, we
have witnessed plenty of change. In a changing world, one thing is
clear: financial knowledge helps consumers navigate through choices,
know what questions to ask, and be prepared to make informed financial
decisions.”
The award recipients were selected using a scorecard that took into
account the nominee’s results, program innovation and program content.
Other factors taken into consideration included whether nominees used a
creative or novel approach, whether they captured a new or
non-traditional audience and what measures they used to determine
effectiveness.
SFEPD was one of several organizations/individuals throughout the
country selected for this award. Society for Financial Education &
Professional Development, Inc. is a non- profit organization founded in
1998 by Theodore R. Daniels for the purpose of providing financial
education seminars to college students, particularly those attending
historically Black colleges and universities. Working with faculty and
administrators of hosting universities, SFEPD customizes seminars and
workshops to meet the needs of the targeted audience. SFEPD has reached
more than 50,000 students since inception in 1998, including more than
16,000 students in the 2007-2008 academic year.
Mr. Daniels has more than 34 years of experience in personal financial
management and investments. In 2008, he was appointed to serve on
President George W. Bush’s Advisory Council on Financial Literacy. He
continues to serve in this role under President Barack Obama’s
administration. Mr. Daniels is a member of the Board of Directors of the
Certified Financial Planners Board of Standards. His organization is
also a partner of the Financial Services Roundtable, which represents
