From leadership to mitigating fraud, today’s time change didn’t slow down this morning’s learning labs at #ICBALIVE.

Another morning with The Baker Group -- Dale Sheller sharing Interest Rate Risk strategies. #icbalive @ICBA with some Reber thrown in

Reberfest lite... The Baker Group presenting on invesment portfolio management. #icbalive @icba

Come on down.. coffee is fresh. #icbalive

One of my favorite parts of evening was watching a group of WVirginia community bankers, proud of the state, proud of Alice, softly singing the end to 'take me home country roads'. You could hear their passion all night about each other and about our profession #icbalive @icba

Alice Frazier you are going to be a great leader for ICBA. #icbalive @icba

@mikeburkejr @waynemiller959 @ICBA Great opportunities presented today for bankers.

Having @waynemiller959 lead innovation for @ICBA lets me sleep well at night! I know my bank will have access to the best technology partners and ideas out there as he leads our industry into the future! #ICBALIVE

Thanks @ICBA for making the Community Bankers of Kansas @CBAKansas feel right at home at fall meetings

@BarretBanking @CBAKansas @ICBA @Susan_Sullivan5 @CRA_Solutions @LegacyBank_KS @FirstOptionBank @TannerJ31905795 @jaykennedy00 @KS_OSBC @gpannerlewis Chris Kelly. Thanks for keeping it fun and lively.

Thank you @CBAKansas for an awesome three days in KC. It was a blast emceeing and spending time with great community bankers.

Agree. Common sense... always has been. When CUs grew past their original purpose should have already happened

Warren Buffett: There are levels of trade deficit that bother me "when you are, in effect, buying more from other countries than they're buying from you, you are handing them investment funds" "we don't want it to be a question of where we import 20% of our GDP and we export nothing. Now, we could all quit working, and we could handle little pieces of paper to the rest of the world. They could keep sending us food, they could send us autos, they could send us all kinds of things. But eventually, they have claims on all our wealth" Trust the process: short-term pain for long-term gain.

Governor Bowman is proof that a community banking presence on the Fed Board leads to practical, bold, & transparent leadership. As a Board position opens early next year, another community banker would be an excellent choice.

Sen. @berniemoreno’s exchange with Michelle Bowman highlights how her community banking experience makes her uniquely qualified to serve as @federalreserve vice chair for supervision.

🚨 Community bankers: urge your members of Congress to co-sponsor the Access to Credit for our Rural Economy (ACRE) Act, which would exempt from taxation interest income on farm real estate and rural mortgage loans in small towns. Act now: icba.quorum.us/campaign/ACRE/

Michelle Bowman is the right person at the right time for this position. Thank you Govenor Bowman for your leadership and your willingness to serve.
