FLOURISH
" We look forward to
serving you and your
community bank in the
year ahead. "
Rebeca Romero Rainey
President and CEO, ICBA
Happy New Year, community bankers! I hope
you all enjoyed the holidays and are ready to start
2019 off right with all that ICBA has to off er.
I'm of course talking about advocacy, education
and innovation: the three pillars for which ICBA
is known.
I know many of you are eager to get started on
your New Year's resolutions. And if you haven't
done so already, I encourage you to also come up
with a community banking resolution-one that
helps you fl ourish as a professional. Here are
some ideas:
Q Advocacy: I encourage you to take advantage
of ICBA's Be Heard grassroots resources. Set a
goal to send a grassroots alert every time you see
a request from our team either in NewsWatch
Today or in your inbox. We moved mountains in
2018 with the passage of the Economic Growth
and Regulatory Relief Act (S.2155), but with a
new Congress and new staff s to educate on community
banking's priorities, there will be plenty
of opportunity this year to fl ex our advocacy muscles
and make more change happen.
Q Education: If you haven't registered yet for our
national convention, ICBA Community Banking
LIVE, March 18-22 in Nashville, Tenn., now is
the time. You'll save if you sign up by the early bird
deadline on Jan. 25. I look forward to this event
every year and have found it to be an incredible
Where I'll be
this month
I will be at the
ICBA ThinkTECH
Accelerator in
Little Rock, Ark.,
as we launch the
bootcamp phase
of the program.
opportunity to network with my community banking
peers and gain the knowledge I need to stay
current. With more than 60 workshops and 10
tracks, you'll be well on your way to completing
your education resolution before spring. And to
keep the momentum going, check out what's available
through Community Banker University.
Q Innovation: Last year, ICBA released a Fintech
Strategy Roadmap to help you with your
innovation planning (if you haven't seen it yet,
you can do so at icba.org/fi ntech). We're now
off ering you even more help on this front with
the new ICBA ThinkTECH Network, powered
by FinXTech Connect. Launching early this year
and free to all ICBA members, this directory is
the next step in our drive to promote community
bank/fi ntech partnerships (see more on page 72).
I wish I had this when I was running my bank!
I wish you all a happy and healthy 2019. If
there's anything that we at ICBA can do to make
the year more productive on the professional
front for you, don't hesitate to reach out to me
or my staff . We're here to serve you, and we look
forward to serving you and your community bank
in the year ahead.
