Thanks to all the teachers who facilitated their students’ participation in this annual statewide competition, especially during these challenging times. Thanks to Margaret Brooks and Kerri McLaughlin who served as judges for this important RI Econ Challenge program that advances and recognizes RI students’ economic and financial literacy accomplishments. Special thanks to CFA Society Providence for generously sponsoring the RI Econ Challenge every year so that it can be offered free of charge to all RI high schools and middle schools.
