| 8:00 AM - 8:45 AM | Is Your Leadership Style Holding Young Leaders Back? - Jackie Rollow, Shazam Jackie Rollow bio |
| 8:45 AM - 9:30 AM | Community Banks are in Position A for 2025 - Jim Reber, ICBA Securities After the longest-on-record pause between the last interest rate hike and the first cut, community banks had ample time to prepare for a secular falling rate environment, which the Fed projects will be lasting for two years. With credit quality still holding in very well, this could be a market that bodes well for community bank profitability and performance. We will look at some important metrics of industry health and identify some relative strengths and weaknesses. |
| 9:30 AM - 10:15 AM | Update on 2025 WA Legislative Session: When Bad Things Happen to Good People - Brad Tower, Tower Ltd |
| 10:15 AM - 11:00 AM | CRA/Community Development - What Qualifies - Steffani Jenkins, ICBA CRA Solutions The Community Reinvestment Act requires that intermediate small and large banks provide CRA qualified Community Development loans, investments and services to the communities in which they operate and this is optional for small banks. Creating partnerships and developing a strategy for providing qualified activities within each assessment area is integral to a successful CRA program. Learn what qualifies and how to make the most of your Community Development activities. |
| August 12 | |
| 8:00 AM - 8:45 AM | Creating Value in an M&A Environment - Philip Smith, Gerrish Smith Tuck Financial institutions want to create value for their stakeholders. For some that means buying other banks, for others it may be considering a transaction, but for most it’s about staying independent and creating value every day. We’ll discuss the M&A environment and how to position your bank to create value without being a buyer or a seller. We’ll look at how the consolidation that is occurring impacts the broader strategies for financial institutions. |
