What is a FAN Club?

A Financial Advancement Network Club - or FAN Club - is a monthly meeting of individuals who are committed to changing their money management habits into ones that allow them to be in control of their financial situations and even their financial destinies.  Each FAN Club runs six months in the “Basic Track” and has the option to continue meeting monthly for another six months in the “Advanced Track.”  Some clubs, because of the strong financial background of the members, may start right away with the “Advanced Track.”

Each FAN Club meeting lasts for about two hours and includes in this order: 1) a guest speaker who will offer a financial class for one hour; and 2) a segment just for the Club members to discuss personal comments from the class, review their goals, and offer each other specific encouragement and advice.  The FAN Club is also a place where members can have some fun, some social time, and blow off steam.

Who can join a FAN Club?

Anyone can join a FAN Club as long as that person has made a commitment to improving his/her own financial situation through financial education and taking positive steps toward a specific financial goal.

Many FAN Club members will come from the Money Smart financial education workshops hosted by a local community organization and GPUAC.  Others will come from similar financial education programs and services, or they may even already belong to a group that has decided to become a part of the Club network.  Still others will join because they have set financial goals of their own and would enjoy the encouragement of their peers in reaching their goals.
