"Credit unions have done a tremendous service for Wisconsin by providing teachers with free resources that accomplish the financial learning goals the state has defined as critical for future financial independence. The future of our state relies on the financial self-sufficiency of each new wave of graduates."

Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle

"Whether a school teaches financial concepts as part of a business, economics, social studies, math or other course—and regardless of what curriculum they use—brass|MAGAZINE makes those ideas real for students."
