2021 Senior Lender Forum
March 4 | June 17 | September 9 | November 4
HYBRID CLASS
Registration for all four sessions is $1,250 for CBAO members.
Your participation in these quarterly meetings allows you to network with peers to identify best practices, stay on top of emerging lending issues, and discuss support tools/software. The forums are member-driven—that is, most of the agenda is set by the participants.
Benefits of Participating:
- Improve the profitability of your loan portfolio
- Reduce the risk in your loan portfolio
- Increase your understanding of regulatory issues
- Expand your network with senior lenders
- Develop solutions and practical ideas (what works and what doesn’t) for handling your most pressing concerns
- Grow professionally and personally
How the Forums Work:
- Groups of senior lenders will be based on bank sizes and limited competitive overlap
- Group size will be no more than 20 participants, with ability to send substitute participants
- Participants will drive the topics and agenda, based on surveys prior to each meeting
- Each meeting will allow time for emerging issues and open discussion
- Engage with an industry-leading expert & facilitator serving multiple Graduate Schools of Banking
- In between quarterly meetings, members can exchange ideas and network
