A Certification Program Specifically Designed for Bank Directors
The Bank Director Certification program provides participants with a thorough grounding in corporate governance and important industry issues that greatly enhance the performance of individual directors. Completing the program and becoming a certified bank director sends a clear message to investors and state and federal regulators that the board member takes its fiduciary duties seriously and wants to be a top performing member of the bank’s board.
