Congratulations to FEC Counselor Jennifer Nanji on her recent achievement!
Congrats to Financial Empowerment Center's Counselor Jennifer Nanji for passing her Financial Counselor Certification Exam from the National Association of Certified Credit Counselors! Great work!
All FEC Counselors go through a two-step certification process. First, they must pass the exam required by our program partner and funder in NYC, the Cities for Financial Empowerment Fund, and they also have the option to take the certification exam offered through our national training partner.
This second exam must be completed within the first year of counseling, and we're so thrilled for Jennifer to have reached this milestone! Today also marks her one-year anniversary of joining the FEC team, and we're so excited for her to be moving forward in this personal and professional journey!
Congratulations again, Jennifer! Thank you for all you do!
