In this episode of Deda Sphere T.I.P.P.S., host Jami Jennings sits down with Trina Hoff, President and CEO of Northern Communities Credit Union and recipient of the 2025 Deda Sphere Community Champion Award.

Trina shares how a small conversation with five local students sparked the Financial Literacy Initiative (FLi), a real-life money education program now impacting schools, nonprofits, recovery programs, and tribal communities.  FLi empowers people to build confidence, set goals, and create practical financial plans.

Tune in to learn:

• What financial literacy really means—and why “real life” education matters

• How partnerships with schools, nonprofits, courts, and tribal communities fuel impact

• Why starting small, listening deeply, and filling local gaps is the key to success

If you’re passionate about community impact, cooperative values, and helping people build financial confidence that lasts, this episode is a must-listen.
