National School - What our attendees say...

"The ABA National Commercial Lending School is one of the most valuable learning sessions that I have attended. Having access to the instructors outside of the classroom was invaluable - as was the time spent with classmates. I was able to discuss issues and gain many perspectives. The loan simulation was a great experience and the ability to get feedback on your loan decisions in such a short time frame was very enlightening."
-- Doug Eakin, Commercial Credit Analyst, First Bank Richmond, NA, Richmond, IN

Graduate School - What our attendees are saying...

"The ABA Graduate Commercial Lending School boosted my confidence level as a commercial banking professional. Not only was I able to compare best practices with fellow bankers from across the nation, but I received top-notch instruction from leading professionals (both academic and practitioners) in the field. Having the opportunity to sit for the Certified Lender Business Banker designation was a real plus!"
-- Darren C. Patterson, Commercial Credit Analyst, Springs Valley Bank and Trust

"The ABA Graduate Commercial Lending School made for a fast paced and challenging week. The instructors were thought provoking and class participation insightful. The courses were structured to meet the current economic conditions."
-- John D. Wellington, Senior Vice President, Bank 10

"The range of topics discussed at the School were very advantageous and directly related to the current banking climate. The speakers did a great job of presenting the material and I'd definitely recommend the School."
--Blake Holzhauer, Senior Credit Officer, Simmons First Bank of Searcy
