EVERFI  ANNOUNCES  FORMER HEADS OF REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATIC GOVERNORS
ASSOCIATIONS TO LEAD NATIONAL EDUCATION INITIATIVE

_Washington, D.C. – April 19, 2011 – _EverFi, Inc., the leading education
technology platform addressing growing state mandates in new subject areas
including financial literacy, student loan management, digital literacy,
alcohol prevention, and others, today announced the addition of Nick Ayers,
former Executive Director of the Republican Governors Association (RGA), and
Nathan  Daschle, former Executive Director of the Democratic Governors
Association (DGA) to spearhead the EverFi Advisory Board.  Ayers and Daschle
will lead the EverFi initiative to launch statewide programs to help provide
innovative  tools  and  technology  to  teachers and school districts,
particularly in low-income communities across all 50 states.

“We’re trying to ignite a national conversation on the competitiveness and
readiness of America’s students,” said EverFi Chief Executive Officer Tom
Davidson.  “Governors  and  other  state  leaders are at the forefront
of bringing  innovation to schools.  Nick and Nathan care deeply about
education and this is a powerful signal that these critical areas cut across
all party and political affiliations. They are two of the most talented and
forward-thinking people that I know and we’re lucky to have them.”

“EverFi has an ingenuous model to educate students on the core fundamental
lessons of life, which school curriculum currently misses, all at zero cost
to states,” said Nick Ayers.  “EverFi's advanced technology has created a
true  win-win  for  students,  educators,  and elected officials that,
irrespective of the strain on budgets, can immediately be implemented.  I am
excited at how many of our elected officials are already requesting to
become an EverFi partner.  I know there will soon be a day when all schools
in America have access to EverFi’s technology. I am sincerely honored to
play a small role in making this happen.”

"At the heart of every Governor's agenda is a promise to the next generation
that tomorrow will be better than today,” said Daschle.  “Unfortunately,
with states facing coast to coast budget crises, this promise has never
appeared more elusive.  Using advanced technology, EverFi has found an
innovative way to provide our nation's schoolchildren with access to much
needed blended-learning innovation - all at no cost to government.  For cash
strapped states, its the closest thing I have ever seen to a slam dunk."
