National
economic trends, such as unstable employment, the threat
to Social Security as we know it, and the widening gap
between wealth and poverty are the basis for the development
of Financial Fortitude, the current Economic Development
Program Initiative of Delta Sigma Theta. Financial Fortitude
is a process that will help program participants to
set and define goals, develop a plan to achieve them,
and to put the plan into action. The process serves
as a blueprint to address all aspects of personal finances.
The Sorority has made available chapter tools for the
process, including a Money Smart Adult Education Program
and a Money Smart computer -based instruction tool from
the FDIC to complement the Financial Fortitude Program.
