Specifically developed for bank CEOs, independent chairmen, and lead directors, the Bank Chairman/CEO Peer Exchange will provide an in-depth discussion of critical, and sometimes sensitive, issues. Participants will have the opportunity to share best practices with their peers, allowing everyone to take away ideas and tools needed to more effectively lead their bank's board in its oversight responsibilities.

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 risk oversight, management succession, responding to the changing industry landscape, and managing the regulators, and keys to a productive CEO-board relationship.
