Join the Financial Educators Council’s ANZ Advisory Board

Are you committed to strengthening financial wellness in your community and eager to share your expertise with people working toward greater financial stability? If so, you may be an excellent fit for the National Financial Educators Council’s ANZ Advisory Board.

As an Advisory Board Member, you’ll have the opportunity to elevate your impact – offering guidance to local communities and helping direct financial wellness program donations where they’re needed most.

The NFEC is currently expanding its advisory board across select countries in the ANZ region. While we’re primarily focused on Australia, New Zealand, and Papua New Guinea, applicants from all ANZ countries are encouraged to apply.

Mission: Strengthening the Nation with Sustainable Economic Empowerment Programming

The mission of the National Financial Educators Council is to build sustainable, scalable economic‑empowerment programs that create meaningful, measurable impact in communities across the ANZ region. We pursue this mission through three core pillars:

Pillar 1: Expand Access to Financial Education

We work to increase access to high‑quality, sustainable financial education programs. This includes providing communities with the resources, training, personnel, and ongoing support needed to build scalable financial‑wellness initiatives in every state.

Pillar 2: Raise Awareness for Economic Empowerment

We champion the adoption of financial literacy at every level – encouraging schools to integrate financial education, supporting families in teaching children about money, and inspiring individuals to strengthen their own financial knowledge.

Pillar 3: Build Community‑Driven Partnerships

We connect community leaders, stakeholders, and beneficiary groups to mobilize people who are passionate about creating financially empowered communities. These relationships help ensure that programs are not only launched, but sustained.
