The 2008 Annual Convention will be held on June 15-18, 2008, at the fabulous St. Regis, Monarch Beach in Dana Point, California.  It promises to be an educational and memorable event you won't want to miss!  Attendees will hear nationally known speakers discussing many of the hot issues facing bankers today.  A special session for directors is also planned.  Networking opportunities abound in the breakout sessions, social and sporting events. Golf with us at the Monarch Beach Golf Links, hike through the Laguna Coast Wilderness, experience the rich history of Mission San Juan Capistrano, cruise the OC, get up close and personal with the great Blue Whale or learn the official sport of Southern California – surfing! A complete convention package will be mailed early next year.   With questions about the convention, please call GBA's Susie McGehee at (404) 420-2010.
