Bank Director: Survival Guide

Survival Guide provides bank directors and bank executives with the tools required to navigate the unique challenges faced by bank board members. Service as a bank director may have been considered an honor in the past - but times have changed. Today, bank directors assume more personal liability and face greater regulatory requirements than other board positions. Strong banks are the lifeblood of a healthy, growing community. When you serve as a bank director you have an extraordinary opportunity to contribute to the economic health of your community by helping local businesses grow and create jobs. Survival Guide provides you with a practical roadmap for making your job as a bank director more effective and rewarding - from the day you join until the day you depart your bank board. Every board consists of unique talents and personalities so Survival Guide is not a “cookbook”. Your board and the bank’s executive management team need to determine your own “recipe” for success.Charles J ThayerFormer ChairmanAmerican Association of Bank DirectorsRead more
