Our bank finds the training that our people receive when attending an Arkansas Bankers Association seminar or educational event to be of tremendous value 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 management as an investment in the future well-being of our institution. Subsequently, the results have been a healthier organization 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 opportunities has afforded us continual growth, both corporately and professionally with our great team of professional bankers. I highly recommend taking full advantage of the ABA’s tremendous educational tools right here at home. Charlie Cross President/CEO Cornerstone Bank, Eureka Springs
