Regional Meetings

The elections are over and now we begin the very important task of stepping up our proactive legislative and regulatory agenda.

All IBAT members will need to engage if we are to reverse the destructive course of "one size fits all" regulation and laws designed to curb traditional banking practices.

IBAT Chairman Troy Robinson of Quitman and President Chris Williston, along with past IBAT leaders and staff, will be traveling to some 16 Texas cities in January and February to conduct briefings on many of these initiatives.  This will be your opportunity to learn of our efforts on your behalf and provide us important feedback to voice your concerns and help us determine the most important priorities for our legislative and regulatory program of work over the next several months.  And more importantly, an opportunity to gather with fellow community bankers in your area to network.  In addition, we are pleased to welcome senior officials with the ICBA in Washington who will share our program agenda and provide insight from inside the Beltway.

IBAT prides itself on being a member driven organization that exclusively represents the interests of community banks.  This is your opportunity to help us better understand the unique challenges you face each and every day.
