Bank Directors’ Training Program Recommendations
Requiring bank directors to have annual education is one of those “best practices” for corporate governance and is a part of the board’s obligation to prepare for the long term and to have qualified directors for the organization. Being proactive in the area of director education is good for your bank, good for your directors and is looked upon favorably by the regulators. As a result of our mission, WIB offers more than 20 educational programs. Click here for program info and other resources.

Insights for Bank Directors, developed by the Federal
Reserve Center for Online Learning
Insights for Bank Directors is an online introductory course covering many topics that bank directors may find useful in carrying out their bank oversight responsibilities. This site is set up under the premise of a Board of Director’s meeting at the fictional “Insights Bank and Trust.” The meeting agenda on the right provides the structure for the course and represents a selection of focused topics that relate to evaluating a bank’s financial performance and managing the risks to its portfolio (credit risk, market risk and liquidity risk).
