Our community bankers are blessed to have such awesome BSA associates working hard in this industry.  Last week, CBA had the privilege of serving our industry’s BSA & AML professionals at our 15th annual advanced BSA/AML Officer school on St. Simons Island.  CBA is your leader in providing educational programs that develop knowledge and skills to support our bankers. “CBA has a great reputation for their Advanced BSA Compliance School, and it has not disappointed. Kristi, Becky and Dianne put together a fantastic line-up of speakers and material. The networking with my peers was icing on the cake.  This school is top-notch and well worth the time and money. Thank you CBA, for a job well done!”  said Angela Woodard, PlantersFirst Bank.
 
“When I started at CBA four years ago, my personal goal was to determine what programs were necessary, which programs needed enhancements, and where we could improve.  With the partnership with Dianne Barton, PSi, the school’s lead instructor, CBA continues to be the leader in BSA education by providing an adult learning environment that works!” said Kristi Greer, SVP, Director of Professional Development.  Participants gained knowledge and tools throughout the week from industry experts, including Erin Woodside and Doroteya Wozniak, James-Bates-Brannan-Groover, LLP; Melissa Snead, GA Dept of Banking & Finance; Sebrina Sweeney, Craig Hirsch, OCC; Marcie Bomberg, Wipfli; Jeff Garner, FDIC; Dan Haggerty, Federal Reserve Bank; and Mark Fellows, GA Bureau of Investigation.
 
Participants were asked, “What part of the program was most beneficial to you?” and we have already received almost 20 responses; some include: “Being almost brand new to BSA, I have limited knowledge. This was an amazing opportunity for me to gain contacts and get some great insights into the BSA role from many different sources and experts,” said Misty Folker, Bank of Newington

“Discussions with other BSA Professionals.”  Matthew Lynch, Peach State Bank

“Elder adult abuse information in relation to personal care homes.”
 
Thank you to all the participants, speakers, and sponsors!  We are proud to serve you!
