Lois Kitsch Email & Phone Number

I am the National Program Director of the National Credit Union Foundation’s REAL Solutions program, which helps credit unions serve financially under served consumers. I also direct the Foundation’s Development Education program, which helps credit union leaders experience a transformation learning experience and maintain cooperative principles as the foundation of their cooperative business model. In both roles I motivate people to change the way they operate their businesses and think about serving marginal markets. I love facilitation, mentoring and consensus building. Over the past three years, I have championed experiential learning programs where students learn by doing in contrast to rote learning which results in a more profound learning experience. Through four different experiential learning programs, thousands of students and consumers are better managing their finances and are building assets and wealth towards a better future. I thrive on international projects and have completed outreach projects focused on building financial capability through cooperatives in some of the poorest regions of the world. My work has taken me to the White House, Clarence House and to more than 40 countries including the Philippines, Afghanistan and most recently South Africa. I hope to inspire others to provide access to education and financial services to those in need. I also have the opportunity to manage the Foundations grants program allowing others to turn cooperative philosophy into cooperative action.To learn more about her many project efforts, you may contact Lois at lkitsch@ncuf.coop.Visit www.ncuf.coop
