With over $75 billion in economic impact every year, agribusiness is Georgia’s leading industry. With long growing seasons, a favorable climate, and over nine million acres of operating farmland in the state, Georgia is prime for growing and producing valuable agricultural commodities.
The state leads the nation in production of chickens, peanuts, pecans, blueberries, and rye. In this issue of Georgia Communities First, CBA showcases the monumental impact Georgia’s community banks play in agribusiness in the state. Thank you to the many banks who shared about the lines of agriculture they support and shared challenges, opportunities, their view on the future of Ag lending as well as how CBA can help support this valuable sector.  Read the July/August issue

Session II: Developing the Team and Handling Challenging Performance Situations
For the our banks, reopening is simply not a "one and done." What is the plan for ensuring employee and customer confidence? Now that most of our banks are “back to normal,” keeping the team positive, engaged, and focused is not only key but also critical. What worked in the past will not necessarily work going forward.  Addressing, developing and responding to reoccurring customer and team concerns, rebuilding and refocusing on the banking basics, as well as trouble shooting and resolving performance challenges will be the included in this interactive, "real world" session.   Restoring and rebuilding a cohesive team during this new normal is the focus of this one-day workshop.
