Southeastern Bank Management and Directors Conference

Program Overview

Don't Be Left Behind: Get Positioned For Recovery

The collapse of the housing market has left many banks with their previous plans in complete chaos. With a predominant previous focus on real estate development and construction, many community banks are now faced with the daunting challenge of re-designing their basic strategies for the next several years while working through the problems created by their former strategy. This conference will focus on developing such strategies, dealing with what is certain to be a more difficult regulatory environment, and discuss methods to re-build shareholder value and re-gain investor confidence.

This one-day conference is organized and directed by James A. Verbrugge, Emeritus Professor of Finance and Chair of Banking, who is involved in executive education and the EMBA program at the Terry College and serves on several corporate boards of directors.
