UNH Cooperative Extension Professor/Specialist Suzann Enzian Knight received the Distinguished Service award from the National Endowment for Financial Education.

The award, which acknowledges those who work to advance financial education in their communities, was presented to her at the MoneySmarts conference in Concord May 9. The conference, sponsored by the NH Jump$tart Coalition, helps educators learn how to increase their own personal financial literacy skills to enhance the delivery of current programs and curriculum, in particular the NEFE High School Financial Planning Program.

"In presenting the NEFE Distinguished Service Award, we demonstrate our appreciation to those who share in our mission: helping all Americans become empowered to achieve their financial independence," said Ted Beck, president and CEO of the Colorado-based National Endowment for Financial Education. "Because of Suzann Enzian Knight's dedication, many people in New Hampshire have gained a renewed sense of hope and determination in managing their finances."

Congratulations, Suzann!
