Save the Dates for CBI ’ s 42nd Management Conference & Annual Convention , July 17-19 , 2013 !
Community banking helped shape our nation , state , and towns . Community banks are iconic institutions that still believe in integrity , fairness , and providing a genuine value to their customers . Even though the community banking industry is facing many daunting challenges , as a united team of community banks and bankers we can be successful in the future and contribute to the country ’ s turnaround .
The Community Bankers of Iowa ’ s 42nd Management Conference and Annual Convention recognizes these challenges , but is focused on the opportunities a team can create with the theme , “ Team Main Street - Go Local .”
Ira Berkow ’ s statement in a New York Times article , “ WARS couldn ’ t stop major league baseball , the Depression couldn ’ t stop major league baseball ; it seems the only thing that could is major league baseball itself ,” also resonates with the community banking industry . Megabanks can ’ t stop community banks , increasing regulations won ’ t
stop community banks ; the only thing that could stop community banks is not uniting together and sending a powerful message to Congress and regulators .
The 42nd Management Conference and Annual Convention strives to unite community bankers into a team through education from nationally recognized speakers , access to the latest products and services , and numerous opportunities for networking , camaraderie , and the exchange of ideas with community bankers statewide .
