Message from the Chairman EORGE D. SWYGERT, JR. | MBA CHAIRMAN G REGIONAL EXECUTIVE CAPITAL ONE, N.A.

MBA – Our Industry’s Innovator

N

one of us has a crystal ball to see with complete certainty into the future. However, I do know that our industry is innovating – it is changing, it is transforming and is undergoing new and innovative ways of providing financial services.

The Maryland Bankers Association’s 120 years of history shows a deep connection of banking to innovation, economic prosperity and American dreams, led by great leaders of our industry here in Maryland.

Today, we face the important task of preparing the next generation of banking leaders to continue the enduring legacy of banking in Maryland for the next 120 years.

With that in mind, we are excited to announce the Emerging Leader Champion Program. This is a new oneyear program for bankers who are interested in furthering their careers in banking and giving them an opportunity to be more involved in their industry by becoming experts in the workings of the Maryland Bankers Association. You will be hearing much more about this program in the next few weeks as we launch the inaugural year. Consider engaging the next generation, both in their careers and in our industry.

Our 2015-2018 priorities converge in three areas that are guiding the MBA in equipping our members for continued relevance and success in a rapidly changing world, they are: 1. Strengthening member engagement 2. Maintaining our “rock star” advocacy 3. Ensuring the association’s long-term sustainability When we look at member engagement, it is achieved in a variety of ways, not the least of which is to connect with employees throughout your banks – the 40,000 bank employees in Maryland. Opportunities abound for bankers to engage with the MBA through political involvement, professional development, community service initiatives and more.

Think of the MBA as our industry’s innovator, introducing new methods, ideas, and solutions that provide significant opportunities both for your bank and your employees to help our members better serve customers and clients for the future.

120 years ago the industry came together for “common interests” and that goal of advocacy strength is even more critical today.

This year the MBA will be creating targeted outreach events for key policy-makers and our members where we will spotlight the role banks serve in communities across Maryland and, we will be focusing on expanding participation in Maryland BankPAC, a key component of our advocacy success.

You will also be hearing about new and exciting things surrounding Maryland Bank Services, Inc., a Maryland Bankers Association subsidiary, that works with qualified industry service providers which provide products and services that allow members to enhance revenue or reduce expenses.

By seeking opportunities to leverage the collective buying power of the industry, Maryland Bank Services helps financial institutions and preferred providers achieve greater value from their membership. So stay tuned!

It is my hope that 120 years from now, banking leaders will look back and be grateful that we could “see the possible” and adapt to the sea changes in our industry and in our lives. They will realize that we didn’t complain (much) about those changes and instead went about the business of continuing to be dynamic, proactive and resourceful. I am excited about future! It is an honor to serve you in MBA’s 120th year.

Integration of concepts from all disciplines “After spending 16 years in retail and commercial banking, I had the honor of attending the Maryland Banking School. As a graduate of the school and leader at EagleBank, I have enrolled a new team member each year since graduating. While there are many highlights from my three years attending the school, the Capstone Project provided me with the outlet to display my knowledge in all areas of banking; marketing, finance, operations and human resources to senior leaders within my financial institution. This strong foundation continues to strengthen my future as I make suggestions and changes within my own area of responsibility.“ Joseph L. Clarke, EagleBank, MBS Class of 2011 For more information please contact MBA’s Patricia Holle (443-837-1607|pholle@mdbankers.com) or Ann DeVilbiss (443-837-1606|adevilbiss@mdbankers.com)
