 Marty Paul

Marty has seen The Stock Market Game program evolve from a pencil-and-paper portfolio simulation in which trades were submitted by US mail, to a real-world online portfolio simulation complete with a fully-packed Teacher Support Center of curriculum searchable by grade level and curriculum area. Coordinating a program of 60 teachers in 1988-1989, she helped the SMG program grow to over 700 teacher registrations and 30,000 Illinois students per school year.

Marty also coordinates the Economics Poster Contest; manages the Council's web site; the Tuesday Tips e-communication to teachers and the First Friday e-communication to board members; and the Econ Illinois Facebook account.

A member of the DeKalb County Farm Bureau, Marty serves on the Ag Literacy committee helping all DeKalb County youth understand how they are involved in agriculture! Lyle and Marty have been married over 40 years and have two children and five grandchildren.

As a regular blood donor, Marty encourages all those who are able, to give the gift of life!
