At its core, GBA is a member-driven, community of bankers and banking-industry professionals.
Each year, more than 300 career bankers, attorneys and professionals supporting the banking industry participate in boards, committees and other GBA volunteer activities. We have volunteers from banks of all sizes and from every corner of the state.
GBA operates at the direction of its member board of directors, which includes bankers that represent GBA’s geographic regions, members at-large and associate members
We have 25 banker-led boards and volunteer committees that provide guidance on a variety of issues and topics. See the lists at right for details about each.
Committee Structure
Bankers are solicited to volunteer themselves and/or another banker to serve on a committee. The incoming GBA chairman then makes appointments. The terms are staggered, so half the committee members will be appointed each year. Committee members are appointed to ensure a diversity of bank size and geographic representation.
