"I thought that the ABA National Commercial Lending School was one of the most valuable learning sessions that I have had the opportunity to attend. Nowhere else is there as strong a gathering of faculty coupled with individuals from as many backgrounds as there was in Dallas. The opportunity to have access to the instructors outside of the class environment was invaluable - as was the time spent with classmates. I was able to discuss issues with a wide cross section of 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
