PROGRAM DETAILS
Session 1: Learning From Our Recent Experiences To Enhance Safety, Soundness, And Profitability Going Forward
Marty Mosby, ERMA Strategies, LLC
Over the last two years we have survived a pandemic, historical growth in money supply followed by the first decline in money supply in a hundred years, and the largest increase in interest rates in a year for 50 years. Despite this extreme volatility in the operating environment and interest rates the overwhelming majority of U.S. Banks continue to be profitable, albeit not as profitable as the prior two years. However, there are lessons that we can take away from what we have recently experienced in order to understand our bank’s risk profile, liquidity and capital adequacy, as well as how we can position to be more profitable in the future.

Session 2: Counterfeit Check And Altered Check Fraud
Pat Dix, SHAZAM
Reports of check theft, identity theft, social engineering and even online extortion are filling the headlines, leading to huge losses, and giving financial institutions headaches. These crimes use old tactics and new technology to try and snatch hundreds of thousands of dollars from your customers. This session will outline ongoing threats but will also look at best practices to mitigate fraud, help educate your customers and keep the money where it belongs.

Session 4: Human Resources And The Bottom Line
Edith Gandy, TriSource Associates
A bank has many assets, but some of them are easier to quantify than others. It’s easy to pull up a balance sheet to determine the financial assets. What balance sheets don’t reflect is the value of the skill, knowledge, talent and drive of the bank’s employees, yet these things are the driving force behind revenue and growth. It is fair to say that a bank can only be as good as the people working within it.
Just as Finance and Accounting Departments are the stewards of the bank’s financial assets, Human Resources Departments are the stewards of the “people” assets, and while the two departments’ core responsibilities differ, there needs to be synergy between the two.
This session will cover:
1.Human Resources as a critical factor in profitability
2.The concept of “human capital” and its value
3.The connection between key Human Resources functions and bottom-line performance

The need for financial institutions to embrace technology and innovation has become increasingly apparent over the past several years. In order for financial institutions to achieve their strategic goals, the need to examine existing technology providers, customer experience, and access to data is critical. With mounting pressure in the form of increased competition from large banks, fintech providers, and community institutions with advanced digital capabilities, the time to innovate is now.
