On another note, when this issue of the Show-Me Banker hits your desk, we will be about a month away from the MIBA’s 48th Annual Convention at The Lodge of Four Seasons in Lake Ozark, Missouri. The convention will kick off on Monday, Sept. 8 with a 10:00 a.m. start to the golf tournament and will end at the MIBAR that night. Tuesday, Sept. 9 starts at 8:10 a.m. with a general session and our keynote speaker. Tuesday evening begins with the President’s Reception and silent auction at 4:30 p.m., followed by the always popular Lobster Fest, live auction and, of course, the MIBAR to conclude the night. Wednesday, Sept. 10 starts at 7:30 a.m. with the ICBA Partnership Presentation and concludes with our closing session. As this will be my final message, the opportunity to serve as the association’s president over the past year has been an honor, and I thank the MIBA Board of Directors for the opportunity. To those who have served in the president’s role in the past, thank you for your service. I’m sure you will all agree a BIG THANK YOU also goes to Matt, Michelle, Rebecca and Jessica. They make the job so easy that all you really must do is show up and be present, which I failed to do at the D&O conference. Thanks, Mark — now we are even! The membership numbers may not reflect my aspirations at the beginning of my term; however, membership remains stable with a few adds and drops. The creation of the MIBA Fraud Committee will serve the association well as we go forward, constantly fighting fraud at our financial institutions. The ability for peers to share what they see in real time in our markets will be invaluable. The association’s survival depends on the transition to the next generation of leaders. I’m optimistic that attendance at the convention will be a more diverse group, or bluntly put, “younger.” To Mark Laune, our immediate past president, thanks for your past and current service to the association. To Curt Brumley, our incoming president, I look forward to working with you this next year, and as I said, 99% of the job is to show up and be present, and the 1% is keeping Matt on track.
