6 Steve Brown
Steve Brown is president and CEO of PCBB, which
offers correspondent bank and broker-dealer services.
But his real claim to fame is Banc Investment Daily (or
as those in the know call it, BID), an
emailed newsletter that touches on
everything from M&A activity and
rates news to the importance of
a tech-savvy board of directors.
BID's 55,000 community banker
and regulator subscribers love
it for its down-to-earth take
on community banking matters;
you won't fi nd many investment
newsletters beginning a discussion
of BSA/AML with an
anecdote about how Belgian
scientists named a new planetary
system after their favorite beer.

7 Cam Fine
You all get the pleasure
of reading ICBA
president and CEO Cam
Fine's columns each
month right here in
Independent Banker,
but he doesn't pull any
punches on his Finer
Points blog, either. Take
this excerpt from a recent
post about the movie Abacus: Small Enough to
Jail: " When prosecutors faced the prospect of
targeting the large and risky fi nancial fi rms that
precipitated the worst economic calamity since
the Great Depression-they instead chose to pick
on a community bank they thought they could
push around. " If there's one thing to know about
Cam Fine, it's that he's got your back.

GOOD TO GREAT
BY JIM COLLINS
" Our bank president made Good to Great mandatory reading for the
executive team, and I was really glad he did. My key takeaway from
the book is the quote, 'Good is the enemy of great.' Community banks
all off er essentially the same products and services [as] other community
banks and megabanks. The only way to set ourselves apart
from the competition is to take one thing we are good at and become
great at it through discipline. "
-Jenn Spartz, executive VP and COO of $89 million-asset
Woodland Bank in Grand Rapids, Minn.
