Alliant Credit Union President and CEO David Mooney, Sr. Vice President of Corporate Affairs Lee Shafer, and Sr. Marketing Representative & Civic Affairs Manager Rob Russell, and Operation Hope Program Manager Karen Kuramitsu assisted Alliant Credit Union Human Resources Manager Jill Okowita, who taught the class.

Over several years, almost every District 62 middle school student has participated in these classes. The program was developed by Operation HOPE, a national organization that helps people succeed through financial literacy and economic empowerment.
