Now in its tenth year, The Directors Certification Program is the most comprehensive bank director training program offered in California.

Passive internal oversight by the boards of directors across the financial sector was called one of the chief factors in the financial crisis. The Dodd Frank Act has increased the Board's responsibility for overseeing management decisions and protecting shareholder value. An ambitious agenda of government regulation will do little to avoid another crisis if directors are not fully prepared for the challenges the future holds.
