Become Involved
There are many ways to become involved with the Ohio Council Economic Education:
Contributions
“If you believe in something, you support it. If you support something, the time comes when good wishes and cordial words are not enough and your hand reaches for your pocketbook. Then the fun begins. For giving is fun. If you refuse to give, your support is wavering; and if your support is wavering, it can’t be that you believe in that something in any strong way. Maybe our account books, after all, offer the honest list of those things in which we really believe.”
- Kenneth Irving Brown
