WASHINGTON — CU pioneer Chip Filson is organizing a new initiative on alternative capital for credit unions.

Filson, currently president of the Callahan & Associates credit union consultancy and former state and federal credit union supervisor, will join Jim Blaine, CEO of the $15.9 billion State Employees' Credit Union and long time alternative capital advocate, and Diana Dykstra, CEO of the $501 million San Francisco Fire Credit Union, in an August 13 Web event to discuss and launch the initiative.
