Jamie Chase, Founder & Instigator of Goodness

Jamie is the founder of CU Strategic Planning. Annually, she leads the program development of millions of dollars in award-winning CDFI grants. She is one of only 20 individuals designated by the World Council of Credit Unions and the National Credit Union Foundation as an International Development Educator.

Jamie was previously the communications director for the Washington Credit Union League, where she introduced the Herb Wegner and Emmy-Award-winning Biz Kid$ PBS program to the credit union movement; it received the largest grant in the history of the National Credit Union Foundation.

Jamie has represented the World Council of Credit Unions to international media and led a goodwill mission to study credit unions in Mali, West Africa, on behalf of the World Trade Center. Her work for individual credit unions includes developing and executing a field-of-membership expansion project that resulted in the largest voter turnout for any credit union election in the nation during the last decade.

According to Jamie, her greatest accomplishment at CU Strategic Planning was to recruit Chuck Cockburn to become the CEO.

Interestingly enough (perhaps this was a sign of her future role in the credit union movement), she was raised in a historic cooperative village.
