WR Seminar: Community Bank Chairman's Forum

11/06/2013 - 11/07/2013

Las Vegas, NV

Chairmen, this is the one you have heard about! It's not a lecture. It's not a seminar presentation. It's an open forum, dialog discussion among chairmen of the board from across the country facilitated by two of the nation's leading community bank experts. As the chairman's role becomes more important, it is becoming more difficult for individuals in that position to truly know how to handle emerging opportunities as well as lingering concerns. What better way than to hear what your fellow chairmen across the country are doing. This is also an opportunity to pick up techniques and trends used by other chairmen to lead their organizations. This program's unique format allows for significant peer interaction and networking as well.

Topics Included:

• Open discussion of chairman-identified pertinent issues
• Chairman's duties and responsibilities in the current environment
• Chairman's obligation in specific situations, such as mergers and acquisitions, problem banks, difficult shareholders
• Board versus management responsibilities
• Chairman's role in strategic planning
• Board and management succession
• Committee appointments, responsibilities and function
• Corporate governance issues
• Purpose and best use of board executive session
• Training new board members
