ICBA President Cam Fine to Speak at IBAT Annual Convention

Analyzing Financial Reform
Over the course of this past year, ICBA, the Independent Community Bankers of America, has worked hand in hand with IBAT, fighting against competing financial interests as financial reform has raged through the halls of Congress. ICBA and IBAT fought hard to keep collateral damage from Wall Street banking reform away from the community banking industry. Now that the fight is over and we have a new Financial Reform law, it is time to dig out of the rubble and find the silver lining in a law that will produce over 500 new regulations for the banking industry.
Camden R. Fine, President and CEO of ICBA, will be speaking directly to IBAT Members at our upcoming Annual Convention, on Sunday, September 26, during the morning general session. Fine will present an ICBA update on the state of community banking, and what the new financial reform law will mean to all community bankers. Cam Fine is a 35 year veteran of both community banking and the halls of Congress. In his blog, The Finer Points you will find a chronology, through past blog posts, of the struggle to keep Wall Street banking reform away from community banks. In his most recent post, Fine talks about what is right and wrong with the new Financial Reform law.
