VBA Annual Convention
Annual meeting of the VBA
Continuing the tradition of assembling as a united banking industry for our annual meeting since 1893, we invite you to join us at the Virginia Bankers Association’s 127th Annual Convention June 21-24, 2020 at The Breakers Palm Beach.
Please plan to attend this annual meeting of the VBA. Only through banker involvement can the Virginia Bankers Association remain a strong and effective voice for Virginia’s banking industry – a voice on which we rely now more than ever. We look forward to seeing you at The Breakers in June 2020.
