Critical Issues for Community Bankers

A GSB Advanced Management Forum
October 29-31, 2014
Fluno Center for Executive Education, Madison, Wisconsin


Let’s face it, community banking in today’s environment is not for the faint of heart. An intense regulatory burden, succession planning, consolidation, governance, tight margins, talent management and more all contribute to significant challenges for community bankers.

The 2014 GSB Advanced Management Forum, being held Oct. 29-31 in Madison, Wis., will address the critical issues facing community bankers with an emphasis on thriving, not merely surviving. Utilizing top industry experts and highly rated GSB faculty members with decades of experience, the program will include insightful sessions on a variety of timely subjects, including:
  • Evaluating your current priorities: Are they “leading” indicators or “lagging” indicators?
  • Enhancing corporate governance: How is your board performing?
  • Capital plan alignment with strategic priorities - Get it done!
  • Re-recruiting and retaining the top 20% of your customers and employees.
  • Succession planning: Emerging priority at both the board and management levels.
  • The next generation of customers: How do you reach them and have you identified them for your institution?
  • Factoring today’s regulatory issues into the bank’s strategic plan.
  • Common mistakes in mergers and acquisitions.
  • Ensuring shareholder value.
The Advanced Management Forum, formerly the Senior Management Seminar, is a leadership program that offers timely and relevant information to help managers and bank officers address today’s biggest challenges and opportunities, with a curriculum that focuses on leading a community bank for performance and profitability.
