An educator who provides financial literacy education to the state’s residents has received the University of Wyoming Extension’s top honor.
Michelle Vigil, who is based in Campbell County and serves northeast Wyoming, received the organization’s Jim DeBree Award. The award is named in honor of the retired Wyoming extension administrator and given to those who demonstrate a high level of professionalism, performance and leadership within their program areas and communities.
“Making unwise money decisions can alter one’s life for the worse,” says Mary Martin, an extension community development educator based in Teton County and a nominator. “Michelle’s specialty area is providing financial literacy education with resources.”
