We’ve unofficially entered what I consider the best season of all. College football is already in full swing, the NFL kicked off last week with the Cowboys and Eagles, and the crisp air and changing leaves make it the perfect time for a good hike. School buses are back on the roads, signaling a fresh start for students everywhere. I find that fall brings with it a renewed energy for learning and growth — a feeling that’s hard to shake, no matter how many years have passed since my own school days.

That same spirit of renewal and growth is at the heart of what the Education & Training team is currently focused on. This fall, we’re excited to roll out several new and enhanced programs designed to meet the evolving needs of today’s banking professionals.

• Commercial Banking Bootcamp has been refreshed to offer even more hands-on, practical training for those looking to strengthen their foundational skills and further their career.
• Back by popular demand, the Virtual Three-Part Leadership Series, focused on trust, values-based conversations, and conflict as a catalyst, launches in October with opportunities to purchase one session, the full series, or a bank license with unlimited logins.  
• For those seeking flexible learning options, our hybrid offerings now include specialized sessions in Treasury Management, HR Legal Insights: A Symposium for Bankers, and Elder Financial Exploitation Prevention, allowing participants to engage in critical topics in the manner that best suits them.
• The Mid-Atlantic Banking Technology & Innovation Summit is designed for bank C-Suite and Senior Leadership members to learn the latest information on use cases, roadblocks, and how banks take that first or next step within their risk profile as it relates to the ever-changing technology and innovation landscape.  

As the banking industry continues to evolve, staying ahead requires a commitment to continuous learning and strategic development. Our fall programs are designed to equip you and your teams with the tools, insights, and leadership capabilities needed to navigate the ever-changing landscape of banking. I invite you to explore our full fall lineup and make the most of this season of learning.
