SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The Richard Myles Johnson Foundation will co-sponsor this year's California Financial Literacy Summit, an April 23 event that will bring together educators, accountants, and financial services professionals to help residents of the Golden State improve their financial skills and reduce the effects of an economic downturn.

Session topics include building coalitions to improve financial literacy, the housing crisis, and nonprofit programs that provide services for low-income Californians.

Letty Cordon-Hernandez, the California and Nevada leagues' manager of international relations, will present information on the National Endowment for Financial Education's high school financial literacy curriculum.

The Summit runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Sacramento Convention Center. Free registration is available at www.calcpa.org/summit.
