Events and Education We were thrilled to host the 2025 Annual Conference & Directors Forum at the historic La Quinta Resort and Club. This premier event featured an outstanding lineup of speakers, including legendary football player Joe Theismann as our keynote speaker. In addition, attendees participated in a fun-filled golf tournament, insightful conference sessions including a dedicated director’s track, numerous networking opportunities, and much more. Mark your calendars for the 2025 Women in Banking Forum on June 24-25 at the Hyatt Regency Orange County in Garden Grove, Calif. We are looking forward to this in-person event which will empower, educate, and connect women in the banking industry.

Community Impact Videos To showcase our bank members and the critical work they do in their communities, we are launching a com munity impact video project. Bank members should have received an email about this initiative. CBA will select up to 10 submissions and create short videos to share on our website and social media. We greatly appreciate your membership and remain committed to serving you. We hope to see you at the Annual Conference and many of our upcoming events throughout the year!
