PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

ABA Trust Conference

What Bankers Are Saying... This was my first Arkansas Bankers Association event. I was more than impressed; the organization and professionalism of the Association employees; the quality and expertise of the speakers; the same is said for the vendors. Overall, I would grade the event with an “A.” I will be back next year. Tracey Dennis AVP / Trust Officer Relyance Bank, Pine Bluff

Nearly 80 bankers from across the state took part in the 2015 ABA Trust Conference on October 20-21 in Little Rock. Speakers touched on topics ranging from investment reviews to prohibited transactions. Trust Conference attendees listen to Dr. Tim Yeager discuss current monetary policy.

Of the four Trust Conferences I’ve attended, this one was the best. The quality of the speakers and the relevancy of their presentations were outstanding. It was a great mix of topics and we came away from each session with something beneficial and useful. Leo Wilcox and Jim Faulkner, both of Crews & Associates, Little Rock. Crews & Associates teamed up with Federated Investors to host the Tuesday evening reception during this year’s conference.

The comments from other attendees were positive as well. Thank you! Denice Harper VP / Senior Trust Officer Union Bank & Trust, Monticello
