LEARNING SUITE: SPECIAL EDITION
AWARE is a national education campaign with a singular goal of building a greater understanding among consumers about how the vehicle financing process works.
Welcome to our Special Edition November E-Newsletter!
AWARE Launches Learning Suite in Time for AFCPE Conference
 The new AWARE "Auto Financing Learning Suite" was unveiled at the 23rd Annual Conference of the Association for Financial Counseling and Planning Education (AFCPE) in San Antonio, Texas this November. AFCPE is a professional organization focused on supporting, promoting and advancing the field of financial counseling and planning education. The conference was attended by top financial literacy educators from the across the country.
The Learning Suite is a new online resource that provides consumers with information about the auto financing process and a collection of important tools. This free resource – completely absent of advertising, lead-generating marketing tools, or sales of any products or services – is perhaps the only collection of auto financing educational resources on the Internet housed under one e-roof. It is accessible through the AWARE website at http://www.AutoFinancing101.org/LearningSuite.
