Bank peer groups - networking in an interactive environment

Each group in The Affiliation Programs is limited to 20-24 bankers from similar asset-sized bank 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 "roundtable" 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.
