Edward Albert Filene was born on September 3, 1860. While the world was very different nearly 160 years ago when our namesake was born, it has been fascinating to pause this week, taking a moment to learn more about Ed’s beliefs, values, actions and accomplishments from his lifetime and realize how much those same ideas – of fairness, of equality, hard work, democratic control, of giving back and pushing for constant progress – are still very much so relevant today. To that end, I am thrilled to present our “Happy Birthday, Ed Filene” tribute podcast. I asked Filene staff to share their favorite fact about our friend Ed, so that others can get to know more about the amazing life he led -- and I also asked everyone to bring us back to the modern era by sharing a compelling insight with major implications for the credit union industry from one of our research reports published over the last year. Here is the list of research reports mentioned by Fileners in this episode for you to check out:George: Do Credit Union Mergers Create Value for Credit Union Members? -- filene.org/472Joel: Keeping Pace with Expectations: The Quest to Attract Younger Credit Union Members -- filene.org/469Sue: Using Analytics to Meet Member Needs: A Case Study of Kern Schools FCU -- filene.org/471Ryan: Preparing for a More Turbulent Future: How Credit Unions Can Remain Vigilant and Adaptive -- filene.org/464 Taylor: The Future of Trust Research Event Recap -- filene.org/482AND Lessons of Fintech Apps -- filene.org/487Cortney: The Case for Workplace Financial Well-being: The View from Credit Unions -- filene.org/480Paul: Who Do Credit Unions Belong To? -- filene.org/470Adam: Reaching Minority Households Incubator -- filene.org/452Christie: The Credit Union of the 21st Century -- filene.org/459From then, to now, and every day in between, we at the institute celebrate his philosophies as we continue to walk down the path he laid down for credit unions all those years ago. As you take a listen here today, join me in wishing Happy Birthday to Ed Filene!

Filene Fill-In Ep. 57: Happy Birthday Ed Filene!

Saturday, September 3, we celebrate our namesake Ed Filene's birthday! He was born in 1860 in Salem, Massachusetts. Join us in celebration of the father of the U.S. credit union movement!How did Filene come to be such, you ask? Well, when Ed traveled around the world in 1907 to source products for his department store, he was exposed to cooperative business models practiced in India and elsewhere. He came home inspired by the incredible social and economic potential of enabling workers and communities to work together to create access to savings and credit. Filene then invested over $1 million of his personal fortune spreading the credit union message because he saw credit unions as the future source of financial services for working Americans and their families.Happy Birthday, Ed! Share your birthday wishes for him below!
