Bankers, legislators, and associate members came together at The Barn in Albany for the second Town Hall Talk. CBA’s Chief of Staff, EVP, Government and Regulatory Relations Lori Godfrey and CBA’s Connie Shepard facilitated this event.
The CBA of Georgia Swaggin' Wagon rolled into Athens, GA for the UGA Career Center career day at the Classic Center. John McNair, Cassie Cornell and Kristi Greer met 20 plus outstanding students interested in learning more about the community banking industry. A very impressive group for sure! 70% of graduating students return back home after college. The community banking story resonated with all and we (as the community banking industry) MUST do a better job of creating awareness with pending graduates about our sector of the financial services industry!!
To end the week, CBA’s Kristi Greer facilitated the HR & Talent Development R.A.P. Session in Macon which was sponsored by SHAZAM. What’s next on our agenda? Check it out here!
