Thanks @brule_robin for inviting me to speak with your inspiring group of credit union leaders, and for @fileneresearch’s work in exploring the expanding role of credit union leaders in supporting entrepreneurs and building entrepreneurial ecosystems — I’ve learned a lot!
Our latest blog from @brule_robin and @andystoll of @KauffmanFDN on how credit unions can and should continue to support ecosystems of #entrepreneurs is even more relevant given recent proposed field of membership updates to the Federal Credit Union Act: filene.org/onramp
"If we can remove (the) barriers & create access for people of all backgrounds to become #entrepreneurs it not only helps those individuals live and thrive and survive, but also their families and their communities. Our economies as a whole will be more successful." @andystoll
