Thursday at CONNECT: Inspiring Leaders, Strategic Insights & Statewide Trends

Thursday at CONNECT is packed with powerful programming designed to inspire, inform, and equip community bank leaders. From motivational takeaways to practical strategies, you’ll hear from dynamic speakers who bring energy, expertise, and insight to the stage.

Opening Session with Billy Boughey "Journey to Success!" 

An engaging conversation about the important "signs" we encounter on the path to success. Billy will explore eight key signs—like Yield, Detour, and Stop—and how they relate to leadership and personal growth. By understanding and applying these signals, we can navigate challenges, make better decisions, and stay on course. This is one of his most requested talks. 

"The State of the State" - Shawn O'Brien

Review analysis on how Georgia banks are performing and trending both nationally and within the state in areas such as deposits, loans, net interest margins, efficiency and other key metrics. Discuss the current credit landscape and outlook ahead. Cover key demographic and economic trends shaping the state and its future.

"Building Resilient Succession Plans: A Competency-Based Approach" – Dawn Gehring

Succession planning is more than just a list of names. It’s a strategic imperative for ensuring business continuity and supporting smooth leadership transitions. How can organizations create succession plans that are proactive, sustainable, and adaptable to both planned and unplanned departures? Join FHLBank Atlanta’s Dawn Gehring for an engaging discussion on designing a robust, competency-driven succession framework that aligns with your institution’s current and future business needs.

In addition to these compelling sessions, CBA Chair Frank Griffin, Flint Community Bank, Albany, and CBA President & CEO John McNair will provide important updates during the CBA Business Meeting.

Make plans now to join us for CBA’s premier event, CONNECT! Learn more.
