Wayne, NJ – En una conferencia organizada por Visions Federal Credit Union, estudiantes de secundaria se reunieron con exjugadores de la National Football League (NFL) para aprender sobre conocimientos financieros y liderazgo. Más de 75 estudiantes asistieron a la conferencia gratuita, "Plan de juego para el éxito", que se celebró en William Paterson University en Wayne, New Jersey.

Presented in partnership with Athletes for Vets (AV) and powered by the NFL Players Association's Former Players Chapter of New York and New Jersey, the conference was invite-only and attended by sophomores and juniors of Manchester Regional High School and Paterson Charter School for Science and Technology. Visions has a Financial Wellness Team that works closely with several high schools in the region and throughout the credit union's footprint in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania.

"We teach many of these financial literacy concepts at local schools," said Matt Kisloski, Visions' Financial Wellness Manager. "This conference was a great way to have those lessons taught from a different perspective. When a lesson comes from an athlete, a coach, or a celebrity, it can reenforce the idea in a fun and memorable way."

Dereck Faulkner, exjugador de la NFL y director ejecutivo de AV, trabajó junto con el personal de Visions para planificar el evento y coordinar con otros exjugadores de la NFL que se presentaron durante las sesiones de trabajo en grupo sobre crédito, preparación para la universidad y elaboración de presupuestos para la aptitud financiera. Después de las sesiones de trabajo en grupo, Faulkner organizó un panel de debate sobre la importancia del liderazgo y el legado, seguido de un encuentro informal para los estudiantes. 

Faulkner said, "This was a successful high school education event, where students were not only given information, but were also inspired and motivated to learn and grow their future."

Otros exjugadores de la NFL que participaron en las sesiones de trabajo en grupo o el panel fueron Sean James, Steve Maneri, Geoff Pope, Carlos Pérez y Lew Toler.
