2010 Directors Certification Update

Keep your certification current by attending our annual update session!

Coming to grips with  the "Dodd-Frank Act" is a tall order, no matter how you cut it.  So we will try to focus on those aspects of the Act that are most relevant to community bank directors, versus the provisions that mainly deal with Wall Street banks.

While this half-day update is designed for directors that hold their certification, all directors will benefit from the critical information offered in this program. This year’s session will spend a good deal of time on the new regulatory reform legislations and what it means for directors. Our speakers will discuss what makes an effective board as well as what regulators, examiners and shareholders expect of directors.
