Find practical solutions for today’s challenges

If you’re like most bank executives, you’re looking for innovative ways to enhance revenue and reduce expenses. You’d like to find out what other bankers across the country are doing and take those best practice ideas back to your community bank.

Affiliation Programs

For over 25 years the Sheshunoff Affiliation Program™ has put you in touch with other bankers facing similar challenges providing for a free exchange of ideas in a non-competitive environment. By interacting with your peers from across the nation and banking experts, you’re guaranteed to discover the strategic initiatives and best practices you need to enhance performance and tackle the growing challenges in today’s increasingly volatile environment. Sheshunoff offers three different Affiliation Programs:

Network in an interactive environment

Each group in The Affiliation Programs is limited to 20-24 bankers from similar asset-sized peer groups, providing a true networking experience. Before placing a member in a meeting, we verify that there are no direct competitors. This added step ensures that all participants can address their specific issues openly.  Utilizing a “round table” format, our facilitators provide expert advice in a highly interactive setting. We work with hundreds of financial institutions and share their invaluable experience and insights during the meetings. Topics are selected using member input and the growing challenges facing bankers today.

Share best practices with your peers

The High Performance Idea Exchange gives you the opportunity to hear the success stories and lessons learned from other bankers. During this part of the meeting, you will participate in a free and open exchange of ideas and information, discuss critical issues that affect your bank and focus on initiatives to improve performance. (Here’s a sample of ideas from the spring 2008 meetings.)
