Ever have a question that you’d love to ask other bankers? Ever just want to know if others are experiencing the same challenges as you are? You are not alone. Bankers from across the state participate in one or more of our many peer groups to network, share best practices and even come up with solutions.  

See below for directions to sign up to start receiving notices about upcoming Peer Group meetings.  Also, click on the button below to see current resources available to each Peer Group.
