The True Value of a Bank Lies in the Knowledge of Its Employees

 

Success today depends upon having a staff with the knowledge to recognize, envision and create sustainable competitive advantages.  Banks can make no greater investment than in the continuing education of their employees. 

 

Smart professionals know that education continues after college.  In order to stay on top of your career and ahead of the competition you have to make learning an ongoing process. 

 

Each VBA education program is carefully designed under the direction of experienced bankers, academicians, regulators and industry consultants to ensure the highest level of programming. 

 

The VBA offers a variety of learning channels each year including classroom seminars, schools, conferences, telephone seminars, online learning and in-house training -- making timely, effective, training conveniently available to every VBA member...from tellers to senior managers.

Executive Leadership Institute

On February 7, the Executive Leadership Class of 2008 ventured downtown to the General Assembly for the opportunity to witness first-hand the events that take place during session. The bankers enjoyed lunch while listening to a legislative issues briefing by the VBA’s chief lobbyist, Phil Boykin and VBA President & CEO, Bruce Whitehurst. The group watched a floor session of the House of Delegates.

As a final highlight, Phil Boykin led the group on a tour of the newly renovated Capitol Building.
