on helping educators teach youth and limited-resource audiences about the basics
of investing and how to make smart investment decisions. The training will showcase

secret operatives and are assigned various missions to help save the world from
widespread financial despair. Each mission focuses on key savings and investment
concepts covered in the LEI curriculum. Rob Mehan from the Illinois Secretary
