Our bank finds the training that our people receive when attending an Arkansas Bankers Association seminar or education al event to be of tremendous valu e in staff development and our bank’s long term success . The type of education they receive from these events is viewed by our ownership and ma nagement as an investment in the futu re well-being of our institution. Subsequently, the results have been a healthier org anization and a more productive and capable banker. Quite frankly, the return on said investment has been one that has never failed to pay dividends and provide enhanced franchise value to our company. In my opinion, our utilization of ABA educational opp ortunities has afforded us continu al growth, both corporately and professionally wit h our great team of professional bankers. I highly recommend taking full adv antage of the ABA’s tremendous educational tools right here at home. Charlie Cross President/CEO Cornerstone Bank, Eureka Spring s 14
