Pioneer Services/Institute for Consumer Financial Education
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (June 20, 2005) For the second year in a row,
Pioneer Services and the Institute of Consumer Financial Education (ICFE)
have announced Pioneer Services’ renewed corporate sponsorship
focusing on financial education and support for legislation
beneficial to military families. The ICFE is an official partner
with the Department of Defense and its Financial Readiness Campaign,
and Pioneer Services supports ICFE measures that will help increase
operational readiness and improve the quality of life for service
members and their families.
“Both of our organizations are dedicated to helping military
families,” said Randy McKee, president and senior Pioneer Services
Representative, “and together we can teach service members and their
families how to better accumulate and manage money. Our experience
with the military community, combined with the ICFE’s outstanding
financial educational offerings, means better service for the men
and women who serve our country.”
"Financial education is especially critical for the military
community,” said Paul Richard, Registered Financial Consultant (RFC)
and executive director of the ICFE. “Delivery will require strong
efforts from not-for-profit organizations like ICFE and is enhanced
by the support of companies like Pioneer Services.”
Each Pioneer Services office manager has been enrolled in an
educational program on the new Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions
(FACTA). All have been certified by the ICFE as a Certified Credit
Report Reviewer (CCRR). Those who earn the CCRR designation help
customers understand their credit reports as well as assist those
who have been victims of identity theft. These two services are
offered for free at every Pioneer Services office.
The ICFE is a non-profit organization, founded in 1982, that is
dedicated to helping people of all ages improve their spending,
increase their savings and use credit more wisely. ICFE helps
educate, motivate and empower Americans, through classroom and
internet-based educational programs, to put more of their
discretionary dollars aside in investments for their future, refrain
from over-spending, and to keep more of the money they make and do
more with the money they keep.
The sponsorship of the ICFE is another way that Pioneer Services
Representatives seek to enhance their quality-of-life and financial
independence for military families. They have more than 70 years in
the financial industry and serve the military community through 26
office locations and online services. In addition to financial
education programs, loans, and insurance products, Pioneer Services
Representatives support military families and communities through a
variety of partnerships, programs, and sponsorships.
