On November 13, 2007, Mississippi State Treasurer Tate Reeves, Aspen IFS Executive Lisa Mensah, and Enterprise Corporation of the Delta (ECD) CEO Bill Bynum hosted a forum in Jackson, Mississippi on “Savings for Life: Child Accounts in Mississippi.” The event brought together senior executives from several of the state’s key banks and leaders from the advocacy community to discuss a bold five-year demonstration in Mississippi that would give every child an investment account at birth. Modeled on the United Kingdom’s Child Trust Fund, it would be the first state-wide demonstration of its kind and would set the stage for a national child account policy. The forum was followed by a press conference with Treasurer Tate Reeves and others.
