Bank Operations Institute
" I have to say that this program is one of the most meaningful experiences I have been involved in since I started my banking career."
For more than 25 years, the Bank Operations Institute (BOI) has lead the field in preparing community bankers for banking in the 21st Century. Guided by the industry’s top management practitioners, consultants, regulators and educators, BOI builds its program around moving operations officers from the back room to the boardroom. Here the emphasis is on practical, real-world issues and solutions. BOI takes students through the nuts and bolts of operations to a new level of strategic thinking.
This is a two year program that provides the practical management and leadership techniques necessary for successful community bank operations. The dynamic curriculum is monitored by regulators and bankers and offers strategic insight into both the present and future of banking technology, processes, and project management.
Students from a multi-state area attend BOI for one week each fall for two years. The program is taught by noted regulators, bankers, educators, and professionals with an emphasis on the practical skills needed for effective and profitable operational management.

Don't Miss this Year's IBAT Leadership Conference! Early Bird Cut-Off 5/11!
What others have said...
"I highly recommend attending the Leadership Conference not only for the education and excellent speakers but also for the networking. Not only do you bring back to your bank the knowledge you gained from the speakers but also some ideas you get from visiting with the other bankers. What you bring back to your bank is way more valuable than what it costs for you to attend."
"I attend the IBAT Leadership Conference because it gives me a great deal of satisfaction knowing that I am contributing to an organization that represents our community banks in Texas. IBAT does a great job in representing us on so many fronts and therefore enhances the community banking business all across Texas."
"The Leadership Conference provides bankers with training in a relaxed setting and their families a chance to make lasting friendships with other banking families. Being a part of the Leadership Conference provides many rewards!"
