Filene Fill-In Ep. 53: Celebrating 30 Years of Filene Research

On May 31, 1989, Filene was officially incorporated as an organization, which means we are now celebrating 30 years of existence. In this interview with Filene’s chief research and development officer, George Hofheimer, we talk about the past and future of Filene, George’s take on the evolution of our work and some of his favorite reports from our nearly 500! We also explore what outcomes and impacts have happened since the 1990s and 2000s in the financial services industry, like state law changes, that started from ideas emerging from our research.

George gives some origin stories on Filene i3, The Cooperative Trust and Crash programs. He gives a preview of Filene’s next research Center of Excellence topics and events we have planned for this year yet. And we attempt to settle the debate over whether it’s pronounced FI-leen or Fill-een…well, at least we try to…

Any way you say it, we are proud to celebrate our 30th year and excited for what’s to come in all the years ahead. Visit filene.org for our latest research and register for our upcoming event in Boston at filene.org/insideout.
