Nearly 200 bankers joined us for our 2024 Burgers with Bruce series. Each event included an industry update from VBA President and CEO Bruce Whitehurst followed by a “Leadership Dialogues” panel that consists of a member of a VBA board, as well as a banker who has been involved in the Emerging Bank Leaders group throughout his or her career.
