CBAI offers congratulations to both on their accomplishment.
Designed to professionalize the position of a community
lender, the CCL designation establishes a standard of
knowledge in the field. Applicants must have three or more
years of lending experience and pass a six-hour exam to be
awarded this classification. Skills subject to testing included
consumer lending, residential real-estate lending, business
financial statements, compliance regulations, loan review, loan
collection, portfolio management, problem-loan identification,
and management. CBAI and Bankers Insight Group, of Atlanta,
GA, administer the Certified Community Lender program.
Currently, 23 community bankers, including DeMay and Dosch,
hold the CCL designation, 15 of whom completed the renewal in
2013. In order to complete the renewal, designees must complete
24 hours of continuing education during the last two years.
