Given the current environment, a decision on CBA’s LEAD convention scheduled for the Ritz Carlton in Amelia Island, Florida needed to be made by the end of April 2020. After consulting with CBA’s Executive Committee and CBA staff, the decision has been made to cancel the June 2020 LEAD convention. We collectively felt this was in the best interests of our member banks and partner firms. Considering the gradual re-opening of both Georgia, Florida, and other states, we have enhanced the agenda for our Annual Convention scheduled for September 24-27, 2020 at the Hilton Sandestin in Miramar Beach, Florida to include dual track programming for our bankers. 
 
CBA conventions are known for finding the right mix of high quality professional development programming with a fun and comfortable environment. Considering the fantastic agenda, we believe this year’s convention will be no different. This year, perhaps more than ever before, we believe it is important to come together as Georgia’s community bankers and share our knowledge, experiences and friendship with each other. Lifting up our communities is what we do every day and this year’s convention will provide each of us with the opportunity to do the same for one another. We sincerely hope you will attend the convention. Please contact your CBA team with any questions.
 
Thank you for all you do for your communities, the state of Georgia and the country!

​Keynote Speaker - David Salyers
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.

​​Keynote Speaker - Pete Smith
