Column: I Am A Different Person In Different Contexts … So Are You!

I Am A Different Person In Different Contexts … So Are You!

In the previous post on diversity/multiculturalism, I focused mostly on the differences between groups, such as males and females, or white and African Americans. 

Equally important, if not more so, are our conversations across the differences within a group. 

For instance, many of us have more “issues” with our family members than with someone of different racial background or religious background.  

Similarly, within a racial group, there can be painful dealings with members’ differences.  Read More

Much like any individual with a natural talent, Angie Charlton exercised her skills as an entrepreneur at an early age.

In fact, the Baldrige Program began preparing for that expansion in the mid-1990s. Early efforts included outreach to education organizations to seek their input on the criteria and to develop other resources to help such Read More

Money IQ: What is FDIC Insurance?

What is FDIC Insurance?

This week’s Money IQ examines Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance, its background, coverage and who pays for it.

During the 1930’s, the financial markets experienced a lot of turmoil and it was common to have runs on a bank because there was no insurance on customers’ deposits.

As a result, the FDIC was created as part of the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933. Since then, the FDIC has provided deposit insurance to guarantee the safety of deposits at any member bank.

Credit Unions are not covered by the FDIC, however, they are covered by Read More
