Onsite Director Education
and Development
Program Content
As
Directors fall under increasing regulatory scrutiny, financial
institutions must implement programs of continuing education for their
Directors. The Georgia Bankers Association has designed three exclusive
onsite offerings with the objective of expanding each Director’s
knowledge and experience by tailoring educational programs to each
unique board and institution. These programs are designed for both
“inside” and “outside” members of the Board, as well as executive
officers. By participating in GBA’s Director Education program, your
bank’s Directors and Management will better understand key oversight
issues and how they relate to your institution’s performance.
