Speaker Spotlight – Rashmi Rangan
Imagine sailing the globe—touring the pyramids of Egypt, bartering the merchants of Venice, visiting the seven wonders of the world, up, close and personal—only to find the most intriguing, magical creation outside of the PathMark on Kirkwood Highway was an ATM machine. She had no clue what the machine did, or how it worked, but she learned. As she learned how much  Americans loved money, she learned more importantly that they didn’t know how to manage their finances. And today, as executive director of the Delaware Community Reinvestment Action Council, Inc., it is her goal to impart what she’s learned about the three R’s of respecting money: money is real; money must be treated responsibly; and money must be treated with restraint.
About Rashmi
Rashmi Rangan, executive director, Delaware Community Reinvestment Action Council, Inc. Rashmi graduated from UD with an M.A in Urban Affairs & Public Policy, and went on to acquire a J.D. from Widener University while continuing to man the DCRAC ship. She believes that true greatness is within everyone’s reach, and applies her natural tenacity to everything she tackles. Her passion for her career is rivaled only by her passion for the Rangan family (which includes several four-legged members who enjoy equal status with the two-legged variety) and friends. In her fleeting moments of spare time, she is an avid gardener—occasionally enjoys preparing the fruits of her labors with enough spice to create a local global warming effect. Just don’t feed her meat.
