  2. Team Filene

    Tools_web

    At Filene we often hear from our members, “Your research/ideas are great, but how can I apply them to my organization?” as a result we have decided to embark on a plan to help credit unions go beyond the research. By the end of 2009, Filene is looking to hire a limited number of talented advisors for the sole purpose of applying research and innovation ideas within credit unions. These 18 month projects include:

    • Young Adult Advisory Services
    • Credit Union Collaboration Advisory Services
    • Innovation Application Services

    Interested individuals should submit a formal proposal (outlined in RFP) to research@filene.org by September 29, 2009.
