Community Bankers School Concludes for 2015
CBAI is pleased to announce 31 individuals graduated
in July from the Community Bankers School (CBS) at
Illinois Wesleyan University in Bloomington. CBS, which
consists of two, one-week sessions over a two-year period
allows community bankers to immediately contribute to the
overall success of their banks, and provides the knowledge
necessary to get ahead. An intensive program designed
for today’s community bank professional, CBS features a
nationally recognized faculty, an updated curriculum, and
timely topics.
Topics covered during an intense week for Class I participants
include compliance, accounting, commercial and consumer loan
documentation, collections, bank security, auditing, investments,
and technology, while Class II focuses on management aspects.
The School’s benefits extend beyond the classroom with outside
case studies, an invaluable student notebook with supplemental
materials, as well as networking opportunities with peers,
instructors, and senior bankers. Students gain a background and
experience for broader responsibilities and greater effectiveness,
as well as insight into a community bank’s overall operations
responsibilities.
