Hoosier Banker 17 bers, are an excellent opportunity to network with other peer bankers and participate in a facilitated group discussion on pertinent industry topics. In October, the FLD will host a networking lunch at Topgolf for members to share in friendly competition and networking with peers. This event will be a quick and easy way to engage with others in a fun atmosphere, and I highly recommend attending. In addition, the FLD plans to host a few Coffee Club meetings throughout the calendar year. These virtual meeting opportunities allow for convenient networking time without leaving the office and let you make new connections and share in roundtable conversation. I hope you will consider making it a priority to attend one or more of these upcoming FLD events. While signing up for FLD membership is easy to do, the benefits you can receive ultimately depend on the effort you put in. There are numerous bankers who have grown and developed through their involvement with the FLD, and I feel confident they would recommend the FLD for others. Make 2023 the year you commit to being engaged with FLD, and seeing the benefits of getting involved.
