 Why You Should Attend 

Good corporate governance includes solid bank director education. The board of directors must prepare for the long-term, and having qualified directors for the organization is good for the bank, good for the directors and is looked upon favorably by the regulators. Western Independent Bankers and the American Association of Bank Directors have become synonymous with outstanding director education programs. This conference accomplishes that and more with industry speakers, peer networking and comprehensive guidance for bank directors. We hope you'll join us in learning best practices, tools and techniques every bank director should have!
