Jun 13, 2005 - Credit Union Journal
The Filene Research Institute has named George A. Hofheimer as its new Director of Research. Since 1998 Hofheimer had been with the Credit Union Executives Society (CUES), serving as VP-chief learning officer, where he was responsible for designing professional development programs for credit union executives and directors, strategic research reports, partnerships with consulting firms and executive education curricula.
Hofheimer had also served as Country Manager in Tashkent, Uzbekistan for Price Waterhouse Eastern Europe BV, and two tours of duty in that country in the Peace Corps. "We are fortunate to have an individual of George's caliber and talents as part of the Institute's leadership team," says Bob Hoel, Filene executive director.
"The Director of Research will supervise and evaluate proposals on subjects determined to be priority issues by the Institute's Research Council. He will supervise the work submitted by the Institute's expanding network of scholars and consultants, and bring that work to the attention of our members and potential members."
While at CUES Hofheimer worked closely with faculty on CUES programs at Harvard University, the University of Pennsylvania-Wharton School, Cornell University, and the University of Virginia, as well as with Oxford University and the London School of Business in the U.K.

 | American Taboo: A Peace Corps Tragedy Returned Volunteers met with author Philip Weiss in Baltimore on June 18 to discuss the murder of Peace Corps Volunteer Deborah Gardner. Weiss was a member of a panel that included three psychiatrists and a criminal attorney. Meanwhile, the Seattle U.S. Attorney's office announced that Dennis Priven cannot be retried for the murder. "We do not believe this case can be prosecuted by anyone, not only us, but in any other jurisdiction in the United States." Read background on the case here. |
 | June 14: Peace Corps suspends Haiti program After Uzbekistan, the Peace Corps has announced the suspension of a second program this month - this time in Haiti. Background: The suspension comes after a US Embassy warning, a request from Tom Lantos' office, and the program suspension last year. For the record: PCOL supports Peace Corps' decision to suspend the two programs and commends the agency for the efficient way PCVs were evacuated safely. Our only concern now is with the placement of evacuated PCVs and the support they receive after interrupted service. |
 | Friends of the Peace Corps 170,000 strong 170,000 is a very special number for the RPCV community - it's the number of Volunteers who have served in the Peace Corps since 1961. It's also a number that is very special to us because March is the first month since our founding in January, 2001 that our readership has exceeded 170,000. And while we know that not everyone who comes to this site is an RPCV, they are all "Friends of the Peace Corps." Thanks everybody for making PCOL your source of news for the Returned Volunteer community. |
