Richardson Vice President FirstBank - Summit County Market Silverthorne J ust as “relationship banking” is important to your bank’s success, building solid and lasting interactions with pub- lic officials is critical. You have more comfort lending to someone you know; public officials and media also rely more on people they know and trust. We need to build these relation- ships now. Like never before, banking has sustained heavy regulatory assault over the past four years, due to overreaching, harmful and unnecessary legislation. Banks have borne the brunt of misguided and misdirected blame following the 2008 economic crash. Your voice is needed more than ever to fight back and protect and defend your job and your industry. Colorado Bankers cannot afford to sit on the sidelines and silently fall victim to further damaging regulation. The Center for Bank Advocacy Training Practicum is a year- long, learn-by-doing course on increasing banks’ influence on public policy. Registrations are being accepted now for the 2014 class.
