Meet the Entertainers!
Your Competitor Could Be Your Key to Growth
Gabe Krajicek, CEO, BancVue
In an economy experiencing tremendous
swells and troughs of change, how do you
keep your eye on the horizon, not on the
rail of the ship? When you’re tracking toward
growth, new approaches are needed.
In order to expand market share, discover a
new way to rethink your competition that will help broaden your
market and boost growth for your bottom line. In this session,
you’ll hear the theory behind this approach to what you thought
was competition, as well as working examples of success.
A Conversation with the Regulators
Disruptive Innovations in Banking:
A Call to Action for Community Banks
Virginia Heyburn, Vice President of Insights &
Advocacy, Fiserv
This session will explore the future of
banking in a digital world and how banks
must prepare to deliver finely-tailored
advice and services in near real-time – to
transform the mobile channel into a tool
for sales.
Momma Told Me
There’d Be Days Like This
Moderated by Dan Brannan
Dan Brannan, Partner, James-Bates-BrannanGroover, will moderate this interactive
session, which will include live results from an
instant poll, questions from the audience and
a panel of regulators ready with answers and
coverage of industry hot topics.
ICBA Report
Jack Hartings, ICBA Chairman,
President & CEO, The Peoples Bank
Company
Learn about the ICBA’s efforts in Washington
and the impact these efforts have on the
community banking industry.
Mark Mayfield
Stressed out? Lethargic? Burned out? This program will help you solve those ills by learning five behaviors that
will help balance your life and by learning techniques to deal with your biggest stressor…PEOPLE! This keynote
is high on content AND hilarity.
Silent Auction & Wine Bottle Ring Toss
Whoever said “money can’t buy happiness” must have never attended CBA’s Annual Silent
Auction! One of the most popular activities at the Annual Meeting & Trade Show, the Silent
Auction is your chance to purchase sports tickets, memorabilia, wines, gift cards, restaurant
packages, vacation getaways, jewelry, novelty and one-of-a-kind items.
During Thursday night’s Welcome Reception & Dine-Around, convention attendees can
practice their skills in the “Fling the Ring” Wine Bottle Ring Toss. Bottles of wine valued at $20
or more are donated, and convention attendees can purchase chances to win a bottle of
wine in a ring toss. If you ring a bottle, then you get to keep it! Enjoy the surprise - you could
end up with an outstanding Georgia wine or even a rare international wine.
Your participation in the Silent Auction and wine bottle ring toss will help raise funds for the
CBA Political Action Committee (PAC) and Public Relations (PR) funds. The CBA maintains
the only state PAC working exclusively for community banks.
Keynote Address: “The Hows and Wise of Happiness at Work”
Brad Montgomery will teach us how to use happiness to boost productivity, creativity, innovation and
sales. He will transform our meeting into a transformational event using the power of happiness. Oh, and
he’s pretty funny. Other speakers TALK about happiness, but Brad will SHOW us how to harness the power
of happiness in hands-on experiences that we’ll remember and implement.
Brad has transformed audiences in all 50 states and on four continents. His clients include Microsoft, Verizon,
The FBI (yes, that FBI) the CIA (yes, that CIA) and the IRS (where he withheld 30% of his best strategies.)
Back by popular demand, Corbin Hoats will perform for us during the Chairman’s Reception on Saturday evening beginning at 6:15 pm. Corbin performs live consistently in the
east Alabama/west Georgia region near where he attends school at Southern Union State
Junior College. He plans to major in Managerial Science with a minor in Music Business.
He has auditioned for American Idol and made it to the Celebrity Judge round.
Immediately following the Chairman’s Banquet, sit back and plan to enjoy breathtaking
magic and hilarious comedy performed by Tim Gabrielson as he teaches us how to Keep
it Funny! He was such a huge hit at CBA’s Leadership Division Convention in June 2014
that we just had to have him back to entertain YOU! Tim has two primary goals when he
steps on stage: 1) Inspire audiences; and, 2) Keep It Funny. In recent years, physicians have
confirmed what we already knew...that laughter is good medicine! Science has rivaled
common sense in providing findings that laughter is not only good for the soul, but also
proven to be good for our health. Whether it’s the release of endorphins or the decrease
in stress hormones that provide an overall sense of well-being and improved outlook, the
cause isn’t as important as the result: A happier, healthier approach to everyday life!
Celebrating a Long & Happy Banking Career
Annual Meeting Tentative Agenda
They say “Choose a job you love and you will never work a day in
your life.” CBA’s Lifetime Service Award recognizes bankers who
have devoted 30 or more years of service to the banking industry
and who have been heavily involved in their community.
Wednesday, September 23rd
The Association is extremely appreciative of these individuals who
have served as a role model to the banking community. In addition
to being recognized at the Chairman’s Banquet on Saturday night,
honorees will receive a plaque and will be featured in various CBA
publications. Honorees with 50 or more years of service receive a
customized gold and diamond pin.
Thursday, September 24th
If you or someone in your bank is celebrating 30 or more years of service, please
let the CBA know by August 15, 2015. Email Peake Wilson at peake@cbaofga.com
for more information.
