It’s Time for CBA’s 52 nd Annual Convention

The long-awaited Annual Convention, Directors’ College and Mini-Trade Show is here! Registrations continue to roll in for this exciting program. Whether you are attending in person or virtually, it’s not too late to register.

CBA conventions are known for finding the right mix of high-quality professional development programming with a fun and comfortable environment. This year, perhaps more than ever before, we believe it is important to come together as Georgia’s community bankers and share our knowledge, experiences and friendship with each other. Lifting up our communities is what we do every day and this year’s convention will provide each of us with the opportunity to do the same for one another.

The agenda offers something for everyone – motivational keynote speakers, a Director’s College, networking at the Thursday night fundraising party, learning about new products and services, numerous break-out sessions, and the Chairman’s Dinner and Banking on the Future Celebration.

David has invested his entire career working in and helping to build a culture only to be described as remarkable.
