Join the Financial Educators Council’s MENA Region Advisory Board

If you’re committed to strengthening financial well‑being in your community and eager to share your expertise with people striving for greater financial stability, we invite you to step into a larger role.

Consider becoming part of the National Financial Educators Council’s MENA Advisory Board. As a board member, you’ll have the opportunity to elevate your impact – offering guidance, sharing insights, and helping direct financial wellness program resources to those who need them most.

The NFEC is currently expanding its advisory board across select countries in the MENA region. While our present focus includes the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Israel, and Egypt, applicants from all MENA countries are encouraged to participate.

Mission: Strengthening the Nation with Sustainable Economic Empowerment Programming

The National Financial Educators Council is committed to igniting long term, community level economic empowerment across the MENA region. Our mission is simple: build programs that last, scale, and genuinely improve people’s lives. We pursue this mission through three core pillars:

Pillar 1: Expanding Access & Building Sustainable Financial Education

We equip communities with the tools, training, and talent needed to create financial wellness programs that can grow and endure. From resources to on the ground support, we help every community build a foundation that lasts.

Pillar 2: Elevating Public Awareness Around Financial Empowerment

We champion financial literacy as a shared responsibility. That means encouraging schools to adopt financial education, inspiring families to teach money skills at home, and motivating individuals to strengthen their financial knowledge.

Pillar 3: Strengthening Relationships to Sustain Community Wellness

We bring together local leaders, partners, and community groups to mobilize those who care deeply about economic empowerment. By uniting passionate stakeholders, we help communities build financial wellness ecosystems that thrive.
