Financial Security in Later Life National Initiative:
Financial Security in Later Life (FSLL) is a national Extension
initiative with the goal of enhancing the capacity of the Land-Grant
University and Cooperative Extension System to develop, market, implement,
and evaluate effective, research-based, financial management programs
focused on later life issues. These efforts will lead to a citizenry who is
financially literate and equipped with the knowledge, attitudes, skills, and
confidence to practice effective and successful financial management
strategies that insure financial security in later life, for example
retirement and life planning. Dr. Rich Poling, Arkansas Extension Program
Development Specialist, is a member of the FSLL National Initiative
Management Team, providing leadership in evaluation and accountability
efforts for the Initiative.
