IBSC 59th Annual Meeting

JW

MARRIOTT RIVERSIDE | SAVANNAH, GA | JULY 27-29, 2023

from the 2023 IBSC President Welcome

Welcome to the beautiful and historic Savannah Riverfront. I think you will find the 59th Annual IBSC Convention to be a fun and unique experience!

This has been a difficult twelve months for banking; coming on the heels of weathering the COVID years. But, we have shown what it means to be South Carolina strong. Our ICBA and IBSC associations have fought hard to protect the interests of our community banks and the communities we all serve. Whether it be the attempt to penalize us for the follies of others or more locally preventing out of state credit unions from buying local banks, our associations have stood strong. I am especially proud of the opportunities the IBSC has provided this year as we have strengthened our Leaders of Tomorrow program so you that you can continue to grow future leaders within your organization. We have also developed new education opportunities for your staff with programs like our popular IBSC Banking Essentials class.

The Convention Committee has worked hard to put together a great program. The speakers lined up are timely in matching the events and concerns we have today. Our “Special Event” will be for everyone as we enjoy a lunch cruise along the Savannah River. The banquet Friday night promises to be truly a unique evening as we put on our Denim and Diamonds and enjoy some homegrown southern sounds.

It has been a true honor to serve as the IBSC President this year and getting to know more of my fellow SC bankers. I want to express my sincere gratitude for the work of the IBSC Board of Directors, and its various committees, but especially for Executive Director, Teresa Taylor, and Marketing Coordinator, April Folger, who without their dedication to IBSC none of this would be possible.

Lynn and I welcome you to the JW Marriott and the historic Savannah Riverfront. We are all going to have a great time!

Sincerely,

James A. “Andy” Timmerman
