Community Banking: A Bright New Outlook for an Old Industry
Philip Smith, Gerrish Smith Tuck
 Let’s face it, community banking is, or at least seems like, an old industry. So, are community banks destined to fade into the sunset? Should we all simply find a larger bank to partner with and end our misery? No! There remains a bright outlook for community banks. This session will highlight the areas where community banks should focus to maintain organizational relevance, improve board governance, manage the current M&A market and be well-positioned for the bright and exciting future that community banks will hold in the financial services industry.
