Welcome to the KBA Officers & Directors Spring Conference 2025
You may have noticed that this year, things are more than a little different.
For the first time ever, Spring Conference is laser-focused on preparing your board of directors and leadership team for the regulatory landscape ahead.
We’ve seen firsthand what happens when boards aren’t equipped to navigate compliance. The reality is, your board’s decisions will define the future of your bank. That’s why we built this conference from the ground up. We want to give bank leaders direct access to the regulators, compliance officers, and experts shaping the regulatory expectations for 2025 and beyond.
Beyond the networking, insights and discussions, and a round of golf, attendees will earn CRE credits and receive a KBA Certificate of Completion. This is a valuable tool to show regulators that your institution takes compliance seriously. And for the first time, we’re offering a live stream option, so no one on your board has to miss out.
This conference isn’t just another industry event—it’s an investment in the strength, stability, and future of your bank. Take full advantage of the conversations, the expertise, and, of course, the networking (I hear the Reds are looking good this year).
Thank you for being here, and thank you for supporting the ongoing efforts of the Kentucky Bankers Association.
