BEAM was awarded the 2012 Wisconsin Financial Literacy Award by Governor Scott Walker on March 1, 2013. BEAM was one of 21 recipients of the award. As Governor Walker stated, the award recipients are “making a difference in our schools, our workplaces, and our communities across the state.”

The Governor’s Council on Financial Literacy was created in 2011 with the mission of improving financial literacy of Wisconsin citizens. This amazing honor for BEAM is entirely in line with our mission.
