Winter Summit Deadline Looms The IBAT Winter Summit VII will be held in South Lake Tahoe, January 28 - 30. This very popular program again features the senior banking regulators from the Texas Banking Department, the FDIC, Federal Reserve and the OCC, along with Sandy Brown and Chet Fenimore, two of Texas' leading banking attorneys. Educational and social functions are scheduled to allow plenty of time to enjoy the beauty and many activities in the Tahoe area. While we will still take registrations after January 3, 2007, we will no longer be able to guarantee either the room rates or availability after that date. For additional information, call Julie at 800.749.4228 or check out our online brochure. |
