Attendees will also hear from ABA’s new president and CEO, Gov. Frank Keating, and ABA Chairman Steve Wilson, who will address the association’s continued advocacy of community bank issues. Wilson is chairman and CEO of LCNB National Bank in Lebanon, Ohio.
A series of special breakout sessions will include representatives from each of the federal banking agencies who will update attendees on the latest in examination focus, industry trends and regulatory developments.
