Our Networks are peer-based, interactive groups within the association. The association currently has four networks: Women in Banking Network, Emerging Leaders Network, Retired Bankers Program and Past Chairs Forum.
Women in Banking Network
The Women in Banking Network is a regional and statewide forum for women to gather, grow their careers, expand their minds and positively impact their communities.
Each year, the Women in Banking Network and Committee present the
Women in Banking Recognition of Excellence Program, which acknowledges rising stars and leaders throughout our industry that continually "go the extra mile" to promote and inspire women to reach their full potential within the banking industry, their financial institutions and the community. The winners of these awards are announced at the annual Women in Banking Conference.

Retired Bankers Program
The Retired Bankers Program offers a unique way for retired bankers to maintain an open door to the industry in which they have built their success and made a difference - a way to receive valuable benefits, keep up with professional and personal contacts, and share their insights and experience with those whose careers are still in the making. The experience and expertise retired bankers bring to the association allow former banking professionals to continue contributing to the profession and providing insight to newer association members.
