The education of current and future bankers is highly important for the industry and the country, and I seek to further the goal of banker education in all available opportunities. Following my years with the Texas Department of Banking, I have been able to be a speaker/presenter and on the following Advisory Boards at different times:
Bank Operations Institute, SMU, Dallas, Texas - operating under a relationship with the Southwestern Graduate School of Banking at SMU, this two-year program focuses on the professional growth of primarily bank operations staff.
