Utah Bankers Make Their Voices Heard in D.C. A group of Utah bankers traveled to Washington, D.C., on Sept. 15-18 for the annual fall fly-in, joining bankers from California, Colorado, Montana, Nevada and Wyoming for meetings with federal regulators, policymakers and industry leaders. The visit included an ABA briefing and meetings with representatives from the OCC, FDIC and Federal Reserve, followed by meetings on Capitol Hill with members of Utah’s congressional delegation, including Reps. Celeste Maloy, Blake Moore, Mike Kennedy and Sens. John Curtis and Mike Lee. Bankers also participated in a White House economic briefing. The fly-in coincided with key congressional action on banking issues, including the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act and the American Lending Fairness Act, providing a timely backdrop for discussions about how federal policy affects banks and their customers. Along the way, the group had opportunities to connect outside of meetings, including dinners, a Washington Nationals game and a performance of “Come From Away” at Ford’s Theatre. The fly-in provided Utah bankers an opportunity to engage directly with federal officials, share perspectives from Utah’s banking industry, and strengthen relationships with policymakers and banking colleagues from across the West.
