Helplines and hotlines
The Bank Director Program also
gives access to two live resources for

Helpline and the ICBA Employment
Law Hotline.
The Governance Helpline provides
community bank directors with direct
access to knowledgeable, authorized
industry attorneys and consultants
from law fi rm Gerrish Smith
Tuck who can provide third-party
expertise and insight into a host of
matters, including:
 Regulatory issues
 Strategic planning
 Fiduciary duties
The ICBA Employment Law
Hotline off ers guidance from the
attorneys at Jackson Lewis on most
employment law questions, so bank
directors can better evaluate potential
actions, and any possible outcomes,
when precarious employment
situations arise.
The hotline can answer common
bank workplace-related questions,
such as:
 An employee came to me
claiming sexual harassment.
What should I do?
 A disgruntled employee just
posted negative comments about
the bank and our employees all
over social media. Can I ask them
to take it down?
 We are thinking about opening
another branch in a diff erent
state. What employment-related
issues do we need to consider?
 We want to enhance our diversity
and inclusion eff orts. What
resources do you recommend we
look to for guidance?
