Breakout Speaker Spotlight: Core Market Update:
Disruption Is Changing Bank Technology...Forever.
Community banks are not strangers to disruption. However, there are four groups of disruptors that are ushering in a new era of technology in the banking industry. David Saylor, founder of Genesys Technology Group, will take a look at the disruption taking place in the bank technology industry, how the Big Three are responding, and how it will ultimately give your bank the flexibility it needs to innovate and thrive in the new era of banking.

David manages day-to-day operations at Genesys while assisting the Genesys team in business development and project management. David started his career in technology in 1992, selling software to Fortune 1000 corporations, and transitioned to selling core processing and ancillary related systems to community banks in 1997 with InterCept. In 2007 David left Fidelity Information Services (acquired InterCept in 2004) to start Genesys Technology Group, LLC. David enjoys hunting, mountain biking and most of all, spending time with his family.

Join CBA in Valdosta Next Thursday, July 28th For the First 2022 Town Hall Talk
Valdosta 7/28 | Augusta 8/4 | Milledgeville 8/11 | Watkinsville 8/17
Town Hall Talks are a multi-location Grassroots alternative to a Day at the Dome for you to meet your legislators in person. We are proud to be partnering with NFIB to host these “Town Hall” style events where attendees will have the opportunity to engage with legislators in a Q&A session and hear their perspectives on legislative issues that may impact community banks. Attendees will be presented with CBA & NFIB updates, programs, insights on the upcoming legislative session, and most importantly, meet & greet legislators. In addition, this will be a great opportunity to network with other CBA & NFIB members and affiliates. Bankers, we encourage you to invite any small business clients to join and attend these Town Halls with you.

Georgia’s community bankers do great things in their communities every day. Here is the latest on community outreach and news from CBA Members:
