Established by the Maryland General Assembly in October 2012, the Commission plays a vital role in enhancing the financial literacy and capability of Maryland residents. It monitors both public and private efforts to improve financial education, provides recommendations for coordination among State agencies, and promotes statewide initiatives, especially those recognizing April as Financial Education Month.
The Commission is comprised of 23 members, including 11 appointed by the Governor, with additional appointments by legislative leaders and ex officio members. Johnson’s appointment reflects not only his leadership in the financial sector but also his commitment to advancing financial wellness in Maryland communities.
