Economic development
Economic stability is a key element in creating and maintaining strong communities. To address the need for economic development, Delta Sigma Theta put forth Financial Fortitude, a process specifically designed to promote understanding of all aspects of the financial system, including but not limited to, budgeting, homeownership, personal wealth management, entrepreneurship, and the steps to financial freedom.
Financial fortitude
Financial Fortitude is the current Economic Development initiative of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. The program serves as a blueprint to address personal finances. It is a process specifically designed to promote understanding of all aspects of the financial system, including but not limited to, budgeting, home ownership, personal wealth management, entrepreneurship, and the steps to financial freedom. It helps participants set and define goals, develop a plan to achieve them and to put the plan in action.
Signature Events
Money talk & mingle series
The financial awareness series focuses on the components to educate the community on money management strategies such as budgeting, credit management, saving and investing as well as entrepreneurship. Workshops have also focused on providing valuable information on estate planning.
The Economic Development committee also partnered with the chapter’s Delta DEARS to present Fraud Watch seminars to senior citizens at multiple community centers. The materials and presentation were provided through our partnership with AARP.
