New this year is a request from Money Smart Week to assign “regional coordinators” serving as a single point of contact in their area.

We are seeking volunteers to serve as regional coordinators throughout Washington State – using general regions including:

1. Northern Coast (Ocean Shores and North)
2. Southern Coast (Aberdeen and South
3. Islands (Whidbey, San Juans)
4. North Sound (North of Seattle)
5. Peninsula (Gig Harbor, Vashon Island, Bremerton, Bainbridge Island, Pouslbo, Port Townshend, Sequim, etc.)
6. Seattle/Tacoma/Olympia
7. South Sound (South of Olympia)
8. Wenatchee area (including North to Winthrop
9. Central WA (Ellensburg, Yakima, Tricities, Walla Walla)
10. Okanogan County area (North of Spokane, East of Wenatchee)
11. Spokane
12. Pullman

Please let me know if you are interested in serving as a regional coordinator, or if you have a quality referral for us. I am happy to reach out to that person directly. Once you register as a partner, I will be able to set up our “regional coordinators” and assign them an admin role.

We are hosting a “MSW Basics” Webinar Friday, Nov. 1 from 1-2 p.m. We’ll walk you through how to sign up to be a partner, walk through the Washington Money Smart Week page, show you how to enter an event into the calendar, and (hopefully) show you where to find the graphics, fliers and marketing materials.

Here is the link to join us online – you will want to be on your computer for this one as we’ll be showing you Web sites.
