Episode 23 - Mark Klinkert (January 2023)

Today's guest is Mark Klinkert, a name, face, and voice that should be familiar to everyone who has attended WCMS in the recent past.  Mark has served as the Provost of WCMS for the past 27 years, where he is responsible for the logistics and operations of the school each summer.  This was only a part time job for Mark though, as he also served as the VP of Education & Training for the California and Nevada Credit Union Leagues, retiring in 2021 after 33 years.  In today's discussion Mark provides us with his unique and far-reaching perspective on the school, the changes he has witnessed in the demographics of the credit unions and students, and the value proposition for WCMS going forward.  He also shares some of his favorite memories and stories from his time with the school.  Listen in to receive a new appreciation for WCMS and the impact it has had on our industry and members.
