Board members play a critical role in the success of their credit union, helping to drive the strategy and vision of the organization. The goal of this space is to curate Filene’s body of work to pull forward relevant and timely insights specifically for board members. The curated pieces fall into two categories – 1. research on governance best practices to help board members understand how they can be a stronger strategic asset to the credit union and 2. research on important and evolving topics, like digital strategy and the needs of younger generations.
