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.

10:30 Navigating a Volatile Environment: Trends & Strategies for Community Banks
David Kantor, Stifel

The environment in which Community Banks operated during the first few years of the pandemic has made a dramatic turn.  As of year-end 2021, Bank balance sheets maintained extremely high levels of cash, with limited loan demand and a heavy reliance on securities portfolios. Today, management teams are concerned about having enough liquidity amidst higher loan demand, and are experiencing minimal portfolio runoff to reinvest into higher rates.  In this section, we will examine these recent industry trends to set the stage for various strategies that can be implemented to help manage liquidity, interest rate risk, capital at risk, and earnings.
