The Government Relations Summit truly is your opportunity to "talk to power." Your involvement will help legislators understand who bankers really are, and what banks do for their constituents. Our message: Let bankers be bankers—an engine of economic growth and job creation in our communities.

At the Summit, we'll explore developments related to key issues that will impact our industry, including the implementation of Dodd-Frank and desired changes to the regulatory environment. And of course, we will meet with lawmakers on Capitol Hill to discuss our concerns about the state of the industry, our communities and our nation.

This degree of legislative engagement also helps shape the regulatory process—a fact that will be reflected in the Summit agenda. In 2012, the bank regulatory agency leadership will be completely new—giving us an exceptional opportunity to reach out to regulators.

Last year, nearly 1,000 bankers connected by a common cause joined ABA and the State Associations in Washington for this important event. Let us again show the strength and conviction of our united industry in 2012—mark your calendar today and plan to join us March 19-21.
