Sign at Filene headquarters in Madison, Wis. Credit/Romulo Ueda
The Filene Research Institute, based in Madison, Wis., has appointed Mike Schenk as Strategic Advisor, effective Sept. 1, bringing more than four decades of credit union and economic expertise to the organization’s research leadership.
In this new role, Schenk will provide strategic direction on Filene’s research priorities, ensure alignment with organizational goals, and review content for clarity and relevance to credit unions.
Schenk recently retired as Chief Economist for America’s Credit Unions, where he spent more than 30 years leading economic research, supporting advocacy strategies, and serving as a prominent industry voice in national and financial media.
“We are excited to welcome Mike as Strategic Advisor,” said Christie Kimbell, executive vice president at Filene. “His decades of experience, leadership in economic analysis, and extensive understanding of credit union financial performance will significantly strengthen our work and the impact we deliver to our Filene members.”
Schenk has a long history with Filene, having previously served on its Board of Directors. He also serves on the board of Summit Credit Union in Madison, Wis., a $6.2 billion credit union, where he has held key leadership roles including board chair.
“Filene has long been a source of leading insight and innovation for the credit union movement,” Schenk said. “I’m honored to return in this advisory capacity to help shape research that advances cooperative finance.”
