Washington Economics Symposium @ Western Washington University's Viking Union
Tickets
Aug 20 @ 9:00 am – 4:30 pm

Western Washington University will host a panel of economic and financial literacy speakers as part of the 2024 Washington Economics Symposium on Tuesday, August 20 from 9:00am-4:30pm at Western Washington University. Teachers can earn 5.5 STEM clock hours for attendance.

Financial and economic education is facing an uphill battle in Washington State. The Washington Economics Symposium is your chance to help address this. With the recent failure of HB 1915, which would have made financial education a prerequisite for high school graduation, this conference aims to bridge the financial and economic training gap in our educational system. Join educators, business leaders, and government officials to tackle pressing economic issues and attend workshops with hands-on instructional resources to advance economic and financial literacy in Washington.

There are two amazing speaker tracks. Registration also includes breakfast, lunch, and a networking reception.
1. The K-12 educator track features educational sessions with 5.5 STEM clock hours and ready-made lessons.
2. The business/government leaders track features a diverse panel of speakers with insights on Washington’s economy, the anti-work movement, education policy, and workforce issues.

Hosted by Western Washington University, the Washington Council for Economic and Financial Education, and the Financial Education Public-Private Partnership, this one-day event will explore the impact of economics and personal finance education on Washington’s economy.

Date & Time: Tuesday, August 20, 2024 | 9:00am-4:30pm
Location: Western Washington University, Viking Union
Registration Cost: $25-75
