Southeastern Bank Management and Directors Conference
Program Overview
Positioning Your Bank for Survival and For the Recovery: Phase II
The economic recovery is on the horizon, but some banks are still fighting for survival. Most of the worst problems in the loan portfolios are now in the late stages of the work-out process, however, many banks remain in crisis mode. Now is the time to develop plans and loan strategies for the economic recovery. At this conference, you will hear and discuss approaches for doing this in an environment in which expansion is likely to be slow and jobless, loan demand is likely to remain weak, the regulatory system will be challenging, and bank capital markets will maintain a "show me some performance" perspective.
This one-day conference is organized and directed by James A. Verbrugge, Emeritus Professor of Finance and Chair of Banking, who is involved in executive education and the EMBA program at the Terry College and serves on several corporate boards of directors.
The program will take place on the following dates and places:
- Savannah, Georgia on Tuesday, February 2, 2010
- Atlanta, Georgia on Thursday, February 11, 2010
