Gov. Terry Branstad will be among the speakers at an inaugural Iowa Financial Literacy Summit to be held Tuesday, May 5, at Hy-Vee Hall. The summit aims to educate students, educators, and the general public about the importance of financial literacy and will feature breakout sessions for each of these sectors. Jack Kosakowski, president and CEO of Junior Achievement USA, will provide a keynote address for the daylong event. One of the presenters, author Adam Carroll from West Des Moines, will present a documentary he produced, “Broke, Busted and Disgusted,” that features some Iowa students who talk about the impact that financial literacy, or lack of it, has had on them.
