Jennifer Tescher on stage at EMERGE Financial Health 2024

A Letter from Our President and CEO, Jennifer Tescher

June 2024

Dear friends,

Thank you for supporting our truly unforgettable 20th anniversary celebration at EMERGE.

Though EMERGE 2024 is now behind us, so much is just beginning. We’ve made great strides with our partners in developing solutions that positively impact people’s financial lives – yet there’s more work to do to put financial health within reach for all.

If we want to move beyond individual success stories and build a new economy centered around financial health, we need a new way of building, from the ground up and from the inside out.

What’s Ahead for the Financial Health Network

As we enter our next chapter, the Financial Health Network will focus on driving systems change by:

    • Providing actionable insights on core and frontier issues in financial health.
    • Developing standards that financial services providers and employers use to drive financial health.
    • Driving more equitable financial health outcomes.
    • Catalyzing the use of AI and other emerging technologies to improve financial health.

In case you missed it, catch my keynote on building a new economy that works for everyone.

Alone, no individual or organization among us can drive such profound change. But achieving financial health for all is possible when we rally together across sectors and industries to build an economy that puts financial health first. With your support, we can research the most urgent issues of our time; design, implement, and refine finhealth strategies; innovate and scale equitable finhealth solutions; and galvanize our entire community around this urgent cause.

To those who have fueled the first 20 years of our movement, thank you – you’ve made our progress possible. To those ready to affirm their commitment to financial health, we walk with you.

Let’s build the future.

Jennifer Tescher
