ICBA said mail theft and check washing schemes remain a persistent challenge for community banks across the country and offered to partner with the U.S. Postal Service to help mitigate the issue. See our letter: icba.org/w/letter-to-us…

As #ICBASummit comes to a close and community bankers leave Washington DC, our advocacy continues. We are thankful community bankers always show up for our industry just like they do for their communities.

The ICBA Professional Development Planner provides a structured guide for development conversations across your bank. You can customize plans for individual employees or create position‑based templates to improve efficiency and consistency.

Proud to have spent this week in Washington, D.C. representing #communitybanking alongside the @ICBA and @cbofm! Grateful for the opportunity to advocate for this industry I care so deeply about as well as our customers, communities and employees that count on us. 🇺🇸

We congratulate the House on passage of the farm bill. This is an important step to completion of a new farm bill, though further modifications are needed to ensure a balanced U.S. agricultural credit system. icba.org/w/icba-congrat…

The power of local lending was front and center as community bankers headed to the Hill today for #ICBASummit to demonstrate how a local presence fuels small business lending and community prosperity. See the impact community banks make across the country: ICBA.org/map

Thank you @LeaderJohnThune for hosting the @ICBSouthDakota bankers in town to discuss issues important to community bankers and the citizens of South Dakota. We appreciate your support. #@ICBA #@Ginahops

Following the release of the CFPB’s 1071 final rule, we commend the administration for heeding community banker concerns and for making needed improvements to help mitigate the negative impact of small-business data collection and reporting requirements. icba.org/w/icba-stateme…

This morning, Chairman @RepFrenchHill joined @ICBA's @romerorainey to talk about the vital role community banks play in supporting local economies, the Committee's Main Street Capital Access Act, and ongoing efforts to provide meaningful regulatory relief.

I had a great time addressing leaders of independent community banks at the @ICBA Capital Summit. I discussed the importance of community banks as a resource for small businesses and how our work on the @FinancialCmte is strengthening America’s commitment to helping them tackle scams and fraud. Thank you to CEO Rebecca Romero Rainey for hosting and all the assembled leaders for everything you do to invest in America.

ICBA Chair @Alice_P_Frazier and West Virginia bankers met with @RepRileyMoore today during #ICBASummit

Community bankers are gathered and ready to share the community banking story on Capitol Hill #ICBASummit

“Community banks are the champions of fighting fraud,” @RepMeuser at #ICBASummit

This morning @RepFrenchHill stressed the importance and value of the community banking voice on Capitol Hill. “Housing and community banking go hand in hand.” #ICBASummit

“The smaller the institution, the more flexibility. And we saw it in the pandemic. … More responsive, more resilient, more able to deliver.” @RepFrenchHill at #ICBASummit

"Smaller banks shouldn't be confronted with a one-size-fits-all regulatory system,” @RepFrenchHill this morning at #ICBASummit

We appreciate hearing from @FDICgov Chairman Travis Hill today at #ICBASummit and his answers to questions directly from community bankers.

The latest acquisition of a tax-paying community bank by a larger, out-of-state credit union further validates the importance of ICBA’s call to tax credit unions with over $1 billion in assets. At this week’s #ICBASummit, community bankers are meeting with policymakers to highlight the real harm these acquisitions cause to local communities: icba.org/w/another-cred…

Thank you @USTreasury's Under Secretary for Domestic Finance @JonMcKernan for joining us for a fireside chat with @romerorainey at today's #ICBASummit
