Pitching education savings to the nation
my529 executive director talks 529s on national TV.
We are excited to share some news with you all — my529’s executive director, Richard Ellis, recently had the opportunity to appear on a national talk show, The Balancing Act on Lifetime Television, with Montel Williams to discuss 529 plans. This was a fantastic opportunity to spread awareness about the benefits of 529s and educate the public about saving for future higher education expenses — and Ellis made the most of his visit.
In his conversations with Montel, Ellis highlighted the tax advantages of 529 plans, the flexibility they offer in terms of eligible higher education expenses and the importance of starting to save early for your child’s education. Ellis also made sure to discuss the role that 529 accounts can play in helping families reach their education savings goals.
We are thrilled that my529 was able to participate in this important conversation and share our expertise with a national audience. We hope that this exposure will help more families understand the value of 529 plans and inspire them to start saving for their children’s future education.
A second segment aired on October 7, and a third will air November 4 on Lifetime Television. Check your local listings for airtimes. You can also stream previously aired episodes on our website at https://my529.org/balancingact/.
