HOLYOKE – State Treasurer Steven Grossman will provide money management tips at a free conference Saturday at Holyoke Community College.
The conference will be from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Kittredge Center for Business and Workforce Development at the college on Homestead Avenue.
“It’s basically household budgeting and sharpening your consumer skills,” Jon Carlisle, Grossman spokesman, said in a phone interview Monday.
Grossman will discuss spending and saving skills and how to protect assets from predatory financial practices, he said.
The conference includes a complimentary continental breakfast and lunch, along with free childcare for children ages 2 and older, he said.
Mayor Alex B. Morse, who will participate in the conference, said such tips can help Holyokers who lack experience with financial decisions.
“Financially savvy individuals build a better future for themselves, but also contribute to building stronger families and a stronger community. We sometimes overlook the importance of what seem to be minor financial decisions, yet they have big implications on one’s life,” Morse said.
Grossman is providing such conferences regionally. The last one was in May in Fall River.
