Sponsored by the Western States Director Education Foundation 2020 & Beyond AVision for Community Banking The intention for the 2019 Symposium for Community Bank Directors is to offer a program made of visionaries; those who bring proven findings from current research and development and those who have been in the trenches and are still around to talk about it. What do they see for the future of community banking? How does it compare to what has occurred, and more than all of that - what is possible? The WSDE Foundation respects you, the community banker. Those who stand strong in value, innovation, curiosity and principles with a strong sense of optimism that the future is clear and poised for growth with opportunities to serve our American communities in new and inspiring ways.

Eric Cook, MBA Digital Strategist, WSI Community Banking and the Amazon Effect “This is my first year and it has exceeded my expectations, specifically the quality of the speakers. I strongly recommend the symposium, it is a great time to come to Arizona, but also a great time of year for looking towards budgeting, strategic planning and succession. I look forward to bringing our board members next year.” PJ Wharton, President and CEO, Yampa Valley Bank, Steamboat Springs, CO For more information, contact Lisa Livingstone via the website www.WSDEF.org Business publications are rated the first choice for staying in touch with what’s going on in their sector by 61% of decision makers. 83% of managers would recommend to people starting a career in their sector to read the business publications. A recent Nielsen Catalina study shows an average ROI of $7.81 for every $1.00 spent on print ads. Almost half of those surveyed preferred to look at an ad in print, and only 1 in 10 preferred to see that same ad in a digital version. And no one wanted to see it in an app. Print is tangible, it’s engaging, it’s readable, but most of all… it works! in your association’s trade journal is a solid approach to business development.
