David Salyers: Spark a Revolution
You may be surprised to learn that 80% of what Chick-fil-A does is exactly the same as what their competitors do. But 20% is dramatically different – and it’s what sets Chick-fil-A apart as a remarkable organization. A business worth “remarking” about that drives incredible results for their customers, employees, and stakeholders alike. What if you could take a deep dive into understanding that 20% in order to help your organization create your own, unique 20% that will help you get 100% better results?
In other words, what if we could truly understand what makes certain businesses “remarkable” and apply those principles to our own community banking organizations? In “Banking on a Remarkable Future", David Salyers will help us do just that while exploring key themes such as culture, values, and mission.

ACAMS Accredited! Continuing Professional Education Accredited by ACAMS
CBA of GA’s 13th annual Advanced BSA/AML school was held on St. Simons Island August 24-28, 2020. We had sixty participants engaged in-person and virtually as we held our school using a new ‘hybrid’ technology. Being able to offer education to our bankers using this technology is allowing us to meet you where you are. We provided a safe environment for learning and for health reasons. As we celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Bank Secrecy Act, participants received many ‘golden nuggets’ from the knowledge delivered by eight subject matter experts who are passionate about their careers. Participants gained new, advanced insight on many topics such as updates from the FFIEC manual, model & data validation, cannabis banking and the role of the department of agriculture, risks, regulatory updates, and more. We also had the chance to interact with fellow bankers from across the state through-out the week as they dug into their own bank policies and procedures to determine how you can maximize the knowledge gained to continue making improvements in their plans. It was timely to cover Human trafficking on Friday morning as the state celebrated finding 40 missing children and arrested nine individuals because of sex trafficking.
We are grateful for our bankers, associate members, preferred service providers and Dianne Barton who led the way for continued learning and ongoing BSA success. Dianne shared, “What a successful week at our CBA Advanced BSA/AML School! Each day was packed full of current BSA/AML pulse points, guest speakers, “real world” tools to improve and enhance the banks’ BSA Compliance Programs, and numerous golden nuggets. And there were so many firsts this year: 1) Social distancing, 2) Celebrating 50 years of the Bank Secrecy Act 3) In-person as well as virtual attendance 4) Focused banker questions for the regulators as well as fellow attendees 5) the first ever ACAMS certification for the School! 6) In addition, in combined general sessions and breakout sessions the virtual team and the in-person bankers focused on common challenges and solutions. Thank you Community Bankers for another fantastic School!”
