Workshop for directors, management offered in June
The Iowa Bankers Association’s 2008 Bank Directors Workshop is a one-day program designed to assist bank directors and executive management with carrying out their duties and responsibilities. The workshop explores the relationship between bank directors and management, regulators, customers, employees and shareholders.
The primary focus will be how to be a good director. Regulators are increasingly holding directors responsible for the safety and soundness and performance of the bank. The safety and soundness concept is rooted in the concept of risk management, which will be a featured topic.
Specific workshop topics include:
• Board compensation
• Required policies
• Risk management
• Sarbanes-Oxley requirements
• Key advisor relationships (legal, auditors, regulators)
• Regulations & compliance (Reg-O, BSA, FIRREA)
• Understanding the UBPR
• Camel Ratings
• Loan Review
• Strategic Planning
Participants can choose to attend one of two dates/locations: Tuesday, June 24 in Cedar Rapids or Wednesday, June 25 in West Des Moines. Click here to register for the workshop online. You can also register using the form provided in this week’s edition of Extras. The registration deadline is June 20. Contact the IBA’s Ann Winkel at 800.532.1423, ext. 4346 with questions.
