Hoosier Banker 7 IBA Quasquicentennial Celebrating 125 Years Learn more at ndiana.bank/history #IBA125Years As we finish out the summer months, we can look forward to another milestone marker on the Indiana Bankers Association horizon: the IBA Annual Convention. Last year, this event took on extra significance by being held in person after going virtual the prior year due to pandemic concerns. This year, not only is our Convention being held in person, but it resumes its normal autumn time slot. We’ll be convening Sept. 11-13 at the beautiful French Lick Resort, starting with our traditional golf outing. As at other IBA events, there will be plenty of educational opportunities at Convention, since it’s important to stay up-to-date on banking issues. Something that sets the Annual Convention apart from other IBA happenings is that Convention by definition includes our election of officers for the next calendar year. In preparation, you can view biographies of our slate of officer candidates for next year in this issue of Hoosier Banker on page 24. As in past years, we have outstanding banking talent scheduled to serve through the chairs, leading the Association into the future. From my perspective, this year’s Annual Convention will be extra special, as it will be my opportunity to host the Chairman’s Banquet on the evening of Sunday, Sept. 11. At the banquet, it will be with pride that I’ll pass along the IBA leadership gavel to our current first vice chairman, Jamie Shinabarger. Officially, my term as 2022 chairman continues to the close of this year, but we customarily recognize the incoming chair at Convention. As with any positive experience, my time so far serving as your chairman has been going quickly, and it has been a pleasure and an honor. Perhaps most significantly, this year’s Annual Convention will feature an all-out celebration of the IBA’s 125-year anniversary. The Convention is a fitting occasion for the anniversary celebration, particularly the Chairman's Banquet, since many 40 Year Club members as well as past IBA presidents and chairs will be in attendance. For those unable to attend Convention, the IBA will be sharing highlights of Convention happenings, including the anniversary celebration, through an upcoming edition of Hoosier Banker and IBA social media. Speaking of social media, be sure to check out IBA posts on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter at hashtag #IBA125Years. Currently, the IBA is posting a daily social media countdown to Convention featuring historic posts of IBA-member banks. If you are able to join us at the IBA Annual Convention, I very much look forward to seeing you in French Lick. This event will be special in many ways, made all the more special by sharing it with banking peers.
