The Convention strives to unite community bankers 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. Among the planned Convention events are two golf outings, a fishing tournament, several receptions, and a live auction for CBI’s PAC. Guest speakers include ICBA President and CEO Camden Fine, who will address attendees on community banking issues at the national level, Michael Barone with a Washington update, and Cory Knudtson from Indian Motorcycles/Polaris, who recently moved their production facility to Spirit Lake.
