Why WIB?

Connections to Peers and Experts Help You Succeed

From our legendary Peer Exchange Sessions to our online resources, WIB provides you the opportunity to connect and share lessons learned and “best practices”. The ability to have honest, open discussions and ask the questions you need answered in a non-competitive environment with peers outside your state or market area is priceless. No other banking association provides independent bankers and directors in the West this structured approach to quality peer interaction featuring banker or director leaders.

Our Professional Development Keeps You On Top Of Your Game

With the wide range of WIB-developed educational opportunities available each year, independent bankers build on their experiences, improve their expertise and develop industry insights. WIB’s array of educational programs provides unparalleled education for executive to mid-level bank professionals and directors. We constantly update our offerings to meet banks’ changing needs.

Best In The West For Bankers Education

WIB has a well-deserved reputation for providing the best educational programs for independent banks in the West. Our programs improve your bank’s financial performance and competitive ability by:

• Informing you of key industry trends
• Enhancing your management, leadership and overall work skills
• Increasing your competency and knowledge
• Building valuable professional relationships with your peers

Is Individual Membership the Right Membership for You?

If you're looking to enhance your professional development needs and build upon your community banking network, then individual membership is your best option. If you'd like to share the benefits of membership with others in your bank, and receive additional bank benefits, then corporate membership is the best option. If you begin as an individual member, and later your bank becomes a member, WIB will credit your individual membership dues towards the bank's dues.
