Bank Board Training Forum 2022 | Bank Director | 12 September 2022 | JW Marriott Nashville, 201 8th Ave S, Nashville, TN 37203, USA

Being a bank leader today demands more time, more attention and more knowledge than ever before, making board training and education an important role in the success of today’s industry leaders. In September, Bank Director hosts the annual Bank Board Training Forum designed for both inside and outside bank directors, chairs, CEOs and senior management who regularly interact with a bank’s board.

Through a curriculum developed by industry experts, the Bank Board Training Forum provides attendees with foundational knowledge, top strategies and the latest information on best practices in all of the critical areas that bank directors must understand, including:

• Risk Management
• Audit Issues
• Compensation & Talent
• Corporate Governance
• Regulatory Updates
• Strategic Planning
• Industry Regulations

In addition, the Bank Board Training Forum includes exclusive Bank CEO, Chair and Lead Director Peer Exchanges that allows participants leading their institutions the opportunity to meet with peers from across the U.S. to address challenging issues and emerging opportunities in a closed-door, off-the-record setting.
