Being Remarkable with Mark Meyer
Wednesday, 14 January, 2026
In this episode of the Filene Fill-In, Filene CEO Mark Meyer and Executive Vice President Christie Kimbell reflect on what they heard from credit union leaders in 2025 and what those signals suggest about the road ahead. They unpack the realities of leadership right now, including challenges around pace, courage, and alignment and how these issues are connected to Filene’s 2026 theme, Remarkable. You’ll hear from Mark about what it means for credit unions to be remarkable and some of the top opportunities for leadership to meet these moments. The episode also includes on-the-ground stories from First City Credit Union and East Rise Credit Union that illustrate what it means to be remarkable in their communities.
