Our Greater Memphis Financial Empowerment Center (GMFEC) team recently traveled to Baltimore for the 2026 FEC All-Partner Convening, hosted by the Cities for Financial Empowerment Fund and FEC Public.

Surrounded by fellow FEC partners from across the country, our team swapped ideas, shared best practices, and left inspired to keep growing the work back home.

We’re proud to represent Memphis and Shelby County and to bring what we learned back to the residents we serve.
