Future Leaders Alliance

The graduating Future Leaders

Alliance (FLA) Class of 2021

concluded their 5th session in mid-January and can see the finish line and graduation in the distance! Their final two-day session consisted of Accounting, Asset Liability Management & Bank Profitability and Cybersecurity. Day 2 was the always-popular Bank Simulation and even though there were challenges to this activity being moved to virtual, the teams did great and kept up with the friendly competition.

The Class of ’21 has submitted their final Advancement Strategy proposals and to say that we are blown away would be an understatement! This new initiative has proven extremely beneficial not only for the students, but for their banks as well. We have been flooded with positive comments coming from the supervisors and bank directors of our students, and we are thrilled to add this as a permanent fixture in the program.

We are very proud of the FLA Class of 2021! Watch for coverage of their graduation in the next issue.
