As detailed in a new blog post, ICBA’s LEAD FWD Summit—the most immersive leadership experience for community bankers—is scheduled for Sept. 8-9 in Bloomington, Minn.
Details: In the Main Street Matters blog post, ICBA Senior Executive Vice President, Chief Learning & Experience Officer Lindsay LaNore says:
The theme of LEAD FWD is Mission: Excellence, which invites emerging leaders to accept their mission to grow, lead, and shape the future of community banking.
According to LinkedIn, 91% of learning and development professionals agree that continuous learning is more important than ever for career success, yet many organizations struggle to prioritize leadership development—especially for rising talent.
With many seasoned community bank leaders nearing retirement, the need to equip the next generation with the tools, mindset, and mentorship to lead is urgent.
Agenda: The agenda features strategies on fraud mitigation, CAMELS ratings, customer experience, data-driven decisions, and more.
Location: LEAD FWD will take place at the Radisson Blu Mall of America, connected to the nation’s largest indoor shopping and entertainment complex.
