Bank Compensation Peer Exchanges are off-the-record peer exchanges exclusive to compensation committee members and allow those from similar, non-competitive institutions to meet in closed-door sessions for candid discussions about compensation specific to their roles, responsibilities and shared interests. Groups are determined by title, type of institution (private or public) and bank asset size.
