5 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE KBA Strategic Partners offer everything from accounting, correspondent banking, consulting, investment, legal, technology, and any number of other bank-related products and services. Many of these companies have been KBA associate members for over 25 years and have supported this association, our member banks, and Kansas banking in general through the very best and most challenging of times. I’m very pleased that we continue to see numerous new companies stepping forward to engage with the KBA and bring their specialized areas of expertise to our Kansas banks. In turn, those associate members, who have been with us for a long time, are continually changing and evolving their products and services to meet the needs of KBA member banks. In addition to providing top-of-the-line products and services, KBA Strategic Partners support the KBA by sponsoring conferences, seminars and other events. Without those sponsorship dollars, we would be limited in the scope of what we are able to offer you — our member banks. It is a combination of those sponsorships and your attendance that allows us to bring you the very best and most up-to-date educational opportunities. This special annual directory is published each year with an issue of The Kansas Banker. I encourage you to take time to look through this guide, and when you are looking for bank solutions and services, please reference this directory to find an impressive array of companies that are proud to be Strategic Partners of the Kansas Bankers Association. Doug Wareham, President and CEO Kansas Bankers Association
