Onboarding programs
for new directors can
build their knowledge and strengthen the
board's value to your community bank. By
Carol Patton
wo years ago, Heartland Bank's board
of directors elected two new directors. As
part of the " naturalizing " process, the $1.03 billion-asset
community bank handed each director
a copy of Financial Institution Directors' Liabilities
& Responsibilities by Jeffery E. Smith, Esq.,
and Craig Bernard.
" We asked them to read the book before they
accepted so they understand what they're getting

T
into, " says Scott McComb, chairman, president
and CEO of the Whitehall, Ohio, community
bank. (See our profile of McComb on page 46.)
" Everyone wants to be on a bank board until they
find out how much they have at risk. "
It usually takes several years before new
directors, particularly outside directors, fully
understand a bank's operations, its legal environment
and its fiduciary responsibility. However,
many community banks don't support onboarding
programs, perhaps because director turnover
is typically low. Still, such programs have proven
beneficial in helping new directors get up to speed
and maximize their value to community banks,
their customers and the communities they serve.
