Update on Regional Conversions
Regions 1 and 5 are active and growing as anticipated. Already in 2013, we’ve converted Region 8 which includes 35 counties. Wendy Griffin, Schertz Bank & Trust is the Regional President. The Committee Chairs are:
EVENTS Committee: Dee Dee Peterson, First National Bank of Ballinger
MEMBERSHIP Committee: Craig Bauman, Llano National Bank
PAC Committee: Russ Huebner, Pioneer Bank, ssb, Dripping Springs
In 2013, we also will convert Leadership Regions: 2, 3 and 9. Now is a great time to get involved in the Leadership Division. This new structure allows you to be as active as you want to be based on your schedule. It also allows for you to choose your area of interest, whether that is Events, Membership, PAC, etc. For a map just click the LD Regions map on this page. Many of you have already taken the opportunity to become involved in your areas. Even though we still have work to do, Leadership board members in the yet-to-be-converted regions have volunteered to be “champions” of their region during the conversion process. If you have any questions or suggestions, contact any of the presidents or champions listed below or Mae Beth Palone at IBAT (mbpalone@ibat.org).

Leadership Division Goal for PAC Drive Month
IBAT is asking all our members to conduct a Bank PAC Drive during the month of March. The IBAT Leadership Division is making its long-range goal to see that each IBAT member bank conducts a PAC drive with its directors, officers and employees. The IBAT PAC and IBAT FedPAC are important to the very survival of community banking.
