Keynote Speaker
Michelle Singletary is back by popular demand due to her spectacular presentation at the 2009 Money Conference. A syndicated columnist for The Washington Post whose popular personal finance column appears in more than 120 newspapers; she's also a mother of three children who understands what it's like to live on a budget. In a plainspoken, sassy, no-nonsense voice, Michelle will provide answers to the financial issues that confront almost every household: how to teach children the value of money; how to address money issues in a relationship or marriage; household saving tips; getting the best loans; and much more.
