LEAD COMMITTEE

LEAD Committee Membership
The purpose of CBA's Leadership Division (LD) is to promote the advancement of tomorrow's financial industry leaders and to encourage and foster additional relationships between the CBA and its member banks.

Membership in the LD gives representatives an opportunity to expand personally and professionally through networking and educational opportunities, political activism and awareness and community service. Each CBA member bank's CEO is asked to designate at least one Leadership Division Representative (LDR) - larger banks may want to name an LDR at each branch. This is an impressive commendation for their most valued employees. Please review this list to make sure your bank has a Representative and/or to confirm the correct name is listed for your bank.  Membership in the Leadership Division is complimentary to all CBA member banks.

The LD strives to ensure a successful future for Georgia's community banking industry. Through its annual initiatives, the LDRs encourage furthering professional education, take part in many varieties of community service and assistance and facilitate fundraising for meaningful causes. Whether you're a seasoned banker or just starting out, the LD welcomes you to join. Please click here to download the LD Membership Brochure and simple application.
​
CBA's Leadership Division Board of Directors
The LD is governed by its own board of directors, committees and bylaws. Typically, the board meets twice per year in person and one to three times per year by telephone. 

The committees are as follows: PAC/PR Fundraising; Charity Fundraising (specific charity is voted on each August); Julian & Jan Hester Memorial Scholarship Challenge; LD Membership; LD Convention; and, the Community Bank Leadership Academy.​

If you would like to serve on the Leadership Division Board of Directors, please click here to download the participation form and submit it to CBA.
​
PAC/PR Fundraising
The LD hosts golf tournaments, clay shoots and a 5k annually to help support CBA's PAC/PR funds. In 2017-2018, these events raised a combined total of over $23,000 for CBA's PAC/PR. Please be on the lookout for more information to arrive at your bank or company regarding these important events. The next upcoming event is the Fall Clay Shoot. Click here to learn more and to register or purchase a raffle ticket. CBA maintains the only state PAC working exclusively for Georgia's community banks. 
 
Charity Fundraising 
Every year, the LDRs and community banks across Georgia raise funds for their charity of choice. Since 1989, Children’s Healthcare (and various departments within) have benefited from donations totaling over $596,000. Funds are raised by either the LDRs' banks directly, community fundraising efforts or personal donations. Donations currently benefit the Aflac Cancer & Blood Disorders Center at Scottish Rite.  Please click here  to learn more. 

* Children’s Healthcare Patient Parties
In early 2014, the CBA Leadership Division began hosting “parties” at Children’s Scottish Rite Hospital in Atlanta in order to comfort the kids and allow them some fun away from their everyday illness-focused routines.  If you are interested in participating, please email Lori Godfrey. 

*Ronald McDonald House Charities
In addition to raising funds for Children’s, the LD also collects soda can pop-tabs and donates them to the Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC). The RMHC recycles them for monetary assistance. The RMHC provides a home for families whose children are being treated by any of the Children's hospitals. Donations and pop-tabs can be turned in at any CBA function. Click here to download a flyer to display at your bank/company. Please contact  Lori Godfrey for more information.

Scholarship Challenge
CBA's very own Julian & Jan Hester Memorial Scholarship program is now collaborating with the LD in a group effort to grow the program and collect more applications each year. The goal of the LD is to receive at least one application from each CBA-member bank. In doing so, "community banking" will reach more young people. To learn more about the program, please click here.
​
Annual LEAD Convention & Mini-Trade Show
Each summer, the LD hosts its LEAD Convention & Mini-Trade Show. The purpose of attending this annual meeting is to educate, network, learn about popular products and services and to develop or strengthen relationships with peers. This well-attended event offers CPE credits for all professionals and is a fun event for the whole family.

In 2020, The 42nd Annual LEAD Convention & Mini-Trade Show will be held Thursday-Sunday, June 11-14, at the Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island, FL.  Registration and room reservations will be open in October.

Community Bank Leadership Academy
Developed by CBA's Leadership Division, this four-part series is designed specifically for the future community bank leader.  The training will benefit the attendees through individual self-discovery, personal and professional growth and career development. Participants will walk away with their own personal development plan.  The Academy aims to support Georgia's community banks in the development of its people so that these bankers will become impactful leaders of influence - for the bank, themselves and their communities. To learn more, please click here.

Leadership Division Initiatives
Every year, the Leadership Division Board of Directors sets ambitious goals for their committees and initiatives. You do not have to be an LD Board Member to assist. Please help them reach their goals by donating, educating and reaching out to fellow CBA members. Your assistance and participation are greatly appreciated!
