  1. Stimulus package, meet credit unions

    Filenefuturefocus

    Feeling stimulated yet?

    Whether you supported it or not, Congress and the Obama administration have served up a massive spending package aimed at the economic crisis. Rather than waiting for that money to trickle down, Filene wants to help credit unions innovate in the new environment.

    Enter Filene Future Focus, a new 90 day open innovation initiative that will comb through all 1,071 pages of the bill and identify ways credit unions can be on the inside of change, rather than waiting for the market or the government to bring it from the outside.

    The invitation is open to anyone in the credit union system, and it takes only 24 seconds to sign up (really).

    As Rahm Emmanuel is now famous (or infamous) for saying, “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.” Thanks Rahm—our thoughts exactly.
