BANK BOARD TRAINING FORUMBuilding A High Performance Board

Within the financial space, the transformational issues confronting CEOs and members of

a bank’s board continue to escalate in number and complexity. Indeed, the pace of change

impacting banks across the United States forces officers and directors to address issues

best described as strategic, risky and expensive.

As part of Bank Director’s commitment to a “strong board, strong bank” mindset, we

developed this year’s Bank Board Training Forum to help board members make sense of

the most pressing issues facing an institution. For instance:

• How shifting consumer expectations continue to attract new competitors;

• The imperative to develop a risk appetite that scales with one’s growth aspirations; and

• Emerging technological trends that banks need to embrace.

These three issues reflect an agenda geared specifically to key leadership at financial

institutions and a keen appreciation for the challenges and opportunities immediately

facing a bank’s board. We encourage you and your colleagues to join us in Atlanta on

September 25 & 26 to expand and strengthen your skills while spending time with your

peers from across the country.

Warmest Regards,

Al Dominick
