As we've taken the time to invest in our organization, we are now ready to add to our leadership. Midas is seeking its next executive director . We are seeking a dynamic leader, who is committed to advancing financial security especially as prosperity escapes far too many families and communities. Please help us get the word out and share among your networks. This is a great role to work collaboratively to expand our impact and shape Midas' future .

Marlishia Aho, Midas' current interim executive director, will be leaving the organization at the end of June. Marlishia provided the necessary leadership and stability during our transition. The Midas Board of Directors and staff are grateful for her dedication and wish her the best.

As new developments unfold, we will keep you informed. We thank you for your continued support of Midas and those we serve. I look forward to you joining us on Thursday, September 20th for our Assets & Opportunity Reception (more info below) to celebrate what you've made possible.

Empowering & Equipping Massachusetts Youth

The financial decisions we face only get more complex as we age. However, access to quality financial education isn't always available especially when you need it most. Massachusetts residents have the chance to change this for our youth. We have been actively supporting passage of an  Act Relative to Financial Literacy in Schools . The bill would invest and equip our next generation, providing them with the knowledge and tools to build financially responsible lives. 

We need your support to give Massachusetts youth the foundation they deserve.

Support investing in our youth and future economy by calling or emailing your  State Representative  to push a House vote. Don't miss out on giving our youth the opportunity to excel.
