Summary

Did you know that there is a museum in Manchester, NH dedicated to the credit union industry?  Neither did we.  But there is!  This month Stephanie Smith, Executive Director of America's Credit Union Museum, joins the Frogcast to share the amazing story of how the museum was started, what exhibits you will find inside the museum, and how the museum's outreach actually blossomed during Covid.  The museum is housed in the birthplace of America's credit unions, and it exists to document and spread the story of our founding as a movement.  Listen in to learn something new about credit unions, reground yourself in the idea of "People Helping People", and hear some great stories of how this spirit carries on in the museum's work today. Interviewers: Nate Burns and Shonna Shearson Producers: Steve Schmidle and Ryan Kane Set Decorators: Robert York and Original Ryan Olsen

    Episode 21 - Back on Campus (November 2022)

    Release Date: 11/04/2022

    Description: The WCMS Alumni Conference was held in-person this July for the first time since 2019 in conjunction with WCMS students returning to Pomona College for the first time since the pandemic as well.  To commemorate this exciting reunion, this month's Frogcast episode isn't limited to one guest in particular.  Instead, you'll hear from the many WCMS students and alumni we interviewed while walking around campus.  The nervous energy is audible in the voices of the new students attending Welcome Walk for the first time, as is the excitement of returning students reconnecting with classmates and the gratitude of our alumni for the experience WCMS provided them.  If you are a student or alumni, listen in to reminisce about your time on campus.  If you haven't attended WCMS, listen in to hear what makes the experience so valuable for so many!

    Episode 20 - Bob Toohey (October 2022)

    Release Date: 10/03/2022

    Description: Today we have a very special guest on the Frogcast, Bob Toohey.  The name might not sound familiar to many of us more recent graduates of WCMS, but we can assure you that Bob has been instrumental in creating the WCMS experience we know and love today.  Bob was a graduate of WCMS in 1975 and a founding member of the WCMS Alumni Association shortly thereafter.  Unlike most of our guests, Bob wasn't an employee with his credit but instead a volunteer.  This year's recipient of the James D. Likens Alumni Recognition Award, Bob continues as a volunteer at his credit union and with the WCMS Alumni Association Board.  If you were lucky enough to be sitting in the audience for graduation this year to witness Bob's receipt of this award, you no doubt had tears in your eyes.  Bob was welcomed to the stage with an embrace from Jim Likens himself, and the history and heart of our program stood there before us.  Listen in to this month's episode to learn more about those early days of the school, and the steps taken to to make it what it is today!

    Episode 35 - Charlie Watts (February 2024)

    Release Date: 03/01/2024

    Description: Today we are joined by Charlie Watts, President & CEO of Aurora Federal Credit Union in Colorado. Charlie joins the Frogcast to share his career story within our industry, starting with a corporate credit union, growing through a credit union CFO position, and all the way to the top seat as CEO. Filling the top seat at a smaller credit union brings its own set of challenges, and he explains to us how he has overcome the resource realities and limitations at a CU his size. WCMS has produced so many great leaders in our industry, and Charlie drank the WCMS kool-aid because of that and it's great reputation. Charlie is certainly considered among those ranks of our alumni - listen in and hear why! Interviewers: Shonna Shearson and Nate Burns Producers: Ryan Kane and Steve Schmidle Supporting Committee members: Robert York, Ryan Olsen, Jeff Morris, and James Wileman
