Community Banker University
Expanded educational offerings powered by ICBA
In collaboration with ICBA’s education department, Community Bank University (CBU), certification programs, seminars, online training, and a host of resources are now available on our website, making it easier for you to find needed education. The new Affiliate Education Program will ensure that collectively, we put community banks in contact with the training tools necessary to grow bankers’ knowledge and skills.
Additionally, the program will also support IBAT: for every ICBA training course, seminar, event registration and resource purchased, ICBA will donate 10 percent of eligible purchases to IBAT.
Let’s all win by increasing knowledge, improving efficiency, and investing in our employees while working together to uplift the industry we love—community banking!
