Sen. Jon Tester, Rep. French Hill Scheduled to Speak

The Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) will host hundreds of community bank leaders during the 2024 ICBA Capital Summit from April 28 to May 1 in Washington. As part of ICBA’s annual advocacy gathering, community bankers will meet with policymakers to discuss ICBA’s regulatory and legislative agenda and share personal accounts of their efforts to stimulate economic growth and support the diverse financial needs of consumers.

Confirmed speakers for this year’s Capital summit include Senate Banking Committee member Jon Tester (D-Mont.), House Financial Services Committee Vice Chairman French Hill (R-Ark.), FDIC Chairman Martin Gruenberg, and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Director Rohit Chopra.

ICBA President and CEO Rebeca Romero Rainey is also scheduled to speak along with keynote speaker Dave Fishwick, whose quest to replicate the community banking model in England, was captured in the Netflix film, “Bank of Dave.” Romero Rainey will also lead a discussion with a Council of Federal Home Loan Bank presidents.
