Topic: A team of Stifel Strategists discuss matters of current import for community banks

The environment for community financial institutions has changed drastically over the last five years due to shifts in interest rates, emerging technologies, evolving consumer preferences, and recent bank failures.

Banking for a non-profit organization is different from working with a typical business. In addition to credit, cash management is crucial for a non-profit, especially during fundraising events or before taking on a new project. Bankers should understand that building a relationship with a non-profit takes time and effort. It’s not enough to just show up. To stand out, the bank needs to be actively involved, whether by supporting fundraising efforts or having volunteers serve the non-profit.

Two years after bank failures shook the industry, liquidity management remains a top priority—especially as interest rates stay elevated. Having a robust collateral management strategy and same-day contingency funding options are now essential. But the most critical factor is your ability to articulate your liquidity strategy to key stakeholders and examiners with confidence.

Offered quarterly in half-day sessions, each of the Bank Directors Forums will cover a unique topic, such as cybersecurity, enterprise risk management, corporate governance and more. No two sessions will be the same. See Agenda below for this session's topic.
