In today’s more complex and transparent governance world, the relationship between executive management and the board, coupled with their ability to provide board leadership, is critical to maximizing a company’s chance of success. A bank’s CEO/chairman/lead director team is charged with driving bottom line performance and enhancing shareholder value. The effectiveness of the team relationship can often be the difference between an average performer and a great community bank that rewards its investors with high returns.

The Bank Chairman/CEO Peer Exchange is based largely upon peer interaction. Throughout the 2-day event, attendees will have several opportunities to meet in closed-door, off-the-record peer groups for a candid discussion of challenges and solutions. The event will also include panel sessions with valuable counseling from some respected financial services advisers on topics like strategic planning, managing risk, and board structure.
