Breakfast with Counsel
Walter G. Moeling, IV, Partner
Bryan Cave Powell Goldstein, LLP, Atlanta

A lot has changed in Georgia during the past year...and a lot has not changed. Walt's comments, in addition to answering your questions (or trying to), will focus on how you should deal with the current regulatory and examination environment, and will then turn the more positive prospects for community banks going forward, including the likelihood of "voluntary" consolidation.

Economic Outlook
Mark Vitner, Senior Economist
Wells Fargo, Charlotte, NC

Join Mark as he talks about the US economic outlook, financial markets including his forecast about inflation, interest rates and credit quality. He will also share his views about what’s ahead for the economy during the next 12 months as well as provide his thoughts on the Georgia outlook.

What’s Next?
Charles E. “Gus” Whalen, Chairman
Warren Featherbone Company, Gainesville

In its 126-year history, Warren companies have been active in manufacturing, agriculture, publishing, philanthropy, and banking. Gus will address “What’s Next?” as he describes how Warren Companies had to evolve to survive and paints a larger picture of corporate transformation that includes adapting to change, innovation, and investment in people. He will illustrate that the future of organizations – including yours – is determined by your company’s DNA – who you are, and not just what you’ve always done. With the dramatic changes in the financial services industry affecting our evolution, it couldn’t hurt to have an enlightened glimpse of “What’s Next” for us all.
