Join ICBA

HandshakeJoining ICBA’s Corporate Membership program is the first step to gain access and visibility to the largest constituency of community banks and decision-makers in the country.

Corporate Members agree that ICBA is the best resource in their outreach strategy to connect to community banks through marketing, advertising, and thought leadership. Corporate members regularly consult with ICBA to develop and implement the most effective community bank marketing strategy.

ICBA produces one daily news-oriented e-newsletter (NewsWatch Today®). Additionally, ICBA produces several e-newsletters and publications monthly on a subscriber basis.  The organization also produces a printed monthly national magazine (Independent Banker®) with a subscription base of over 13,000.  The magazine is also produced in a digital format with over 3,000 subscribers.

ICBA hosts three large meetings per year; a national convention (ICBA Community Banking LIVE®), an advocacy meeting (ICBA Capital Summit) and an educational leadership development summit (Lead FWD).  Each meeting is independently created, has unique content and carries its own brand/look/feel incorporating the ICBA logo.  High-visibility sponsorships are available for Corporate Members at each event!
