Independent Banker - August 2017 - 53

ICBA membership gets you into all the best events
ICBA Community Banking LIVE is the biggest industry event of the year. The 2017
convention, held in San Antonio, featured everything from displays of cutting-edge
banking technology to a puppy corner. Don't
miss next year's event, to be held March 13-17
among the glittering lights of Las Vegas.
The Capital Summit is all about power-the
power of community bankers to make an impact
on fi nancial legislation. The 2017 event, held in
Washington, D.C., in late April and early May,
welcomed more than 1,000 community bankers,
100 of whom were invited to the White House
for a meeting with President Donald Trump
focused on regulatory relief. The summit also
included ICBA's fi rst-ever Future of Banking
Symposium, which brought forward-thinking
speakers to the stage to arm community bankers
with key insights into their fast-changing
industry. icba.org/capitalsummit

Collective
influence
" Without ICBA's
consolidated power,
we really don't have a voice.
With an incredible amount
of hard work and leadership
from Cam Fine and the staff
at ICBA, Washington and the
regulators do pay attention.
" I'm very proud of the
community banking industry.
From my experience as a past
ICBA chairman, I know thousands
of community bankers.
They are honest, they have
integrity and they are trying
to do good things, and they
are working very hard for their
banks and their customers.
They are true America. "
-Sal Marranca, who was ICBA
chairman from 2011 to 2012, is
chairman of the board and former
president/CEO of Cattaraugus
County Bank in Little Valley, N.Y.
