Changing lives through innovation, truth and cooperation.

It's been my experience that Filene addresses topics we all think about, or are at least aware of, but don't necessarily have the time or resources to study ourselves. The 'outside the box' thinking, and post-study information provided by Filene, promotes thought and discussion about how we can apply a subject to our own membership.
