Join the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and Bank On Greater Milwaukee to recognize Hispanic Heritage Month on September 19, 2024. The event aims to foster greater economic inclusion by showcasing unique cultural perspectives and research from organizations implementing innovative strategies. Attendees will learn about approaches for serving dual-language speakers and families striving for greater financial stability. Over 20 experts have agreed to discuss investments made by banks, credit unions, and non-profits to improve access to safe and affordable services. To amplify the voices of those serving Hispanic and Latino communities, this full-day event is divided into morning and afternoon panels, allowing guests to register for the entire day or just one session.
