NBA Board of Directors and Chair-Elect
Our Association has benefitted greatly from the selfless contributions of our members over the past 132 years. Nominations are requested for the Chair-Elect and Board of Directors who will serve the industry and the NBA in 2022-2023. The NBA Nominating Committee will meet in March to review all nominations. The banker selected as Chair-Elect will become a key spokesperson for the NBA. This individual is responsible for communicating our views, goals and interests to bank regulators, state and federal legislators, and the media whenever necessary. The Board of Directors is the NBA's governing body. Board members serve three-year terms and are responsible for making policy decisions, approving committee appointments, authorizing the budget and setting member dues. Both the Chair-Elect and board members are recommended by the Nominating Committee to the NBA Board for approval with a formal vote of approval by NBA members at the Annual Meeting, which will occur during the NBA Annual Convention, May 4-6, at the Embassy Suites, La Vista. A board nominee should have prior service with the Association through support of and participation in NBA events as well as products and services, NBA committee involvement, NBA BankPAC financial contributions, and his/her financial institution’s support of and involvement in the NBA. Board nominees should have the respect of their peers and the credibility to represent the industry. Previous service on the NBA Board of Directors is highly desirable for the Chair-Elect nominee. Volunteer for a Committee All employees of NBA-member banks are encouraged to apply to serve the banking industry as a member of an NBA committee. NBA Chair-Elect Stephen Stull, Farmers State Bank (Dodge), will recommend committee member selections to the NBA Board of Directors in March. Committee interest forms are due Jan. 14. Attend the ABA Washington Summit Two $1,500 scholarships are available for emerging leaders or young bankers to attend the American Bankers Association (ABA) Washington Summit March 7-9 in Washington, D.C.

The scholarships are provided by the NBA and the ABA to encourage participants to learn more about regulatory issues affecting the banking industry and have one-on-one disucssions with Nebraska’s Congressional Delegation. Registration for the Summit is free, so the scholarship may be used to cover hotel and travel expenses. To enter the drawing to win, submit your information by Jan. 28 to Ron Arrigo at the NBA at [email protected].

To volunteer for an NBA committee, complete the NBA Committee Interest Form by Jan. 14. The Nebraska Department of Banking and Finance (NDBF) recently concluded the first required annual examination of the Single Bank Pooled Collateral (SBPC) Program. The Program allows participating banks to aggregate their total public deposits and to pledge collateral against its entire portfolio of public deposits rather than pledging per entity. Pledging to the aggregate public depositors balance improves efficiencies and maintains protections for public deposits. The SBPC Program is overseen by the NDBF and is administered by the Nebraska Bankers Insurance Service Company (NBISCO), a division of the NBA. Nineteen banks have joined the Program, and public deposits of 219 entities are part of the pool and secure over $1 billion for Nebraska public depositors.
To learn more about the SBPC, visit the program website or contact NBISCO Program Administrator Misty Stoner, at [email protected] or 402-904-7060. The Nebraska Bankers Association and other state bankers associations sent a letter to the House of Representatives in support of a bill, H.R. 6145, that would set the Community Bank Leverage Ratio between 8.0% and 8.5% between Jan. 1, 2022, and Dec. 31, 2024. Bank efforts to respond to the pandemic have led to significant balance sheet increases. H.R. 6145 would provide necessary relief from higher capital demands.
Applications are now being accepted for the 14th class of the NBA Leadership Program.
Created in 1996, the Leadership Program enhances the leadership, organizational, and performance skills of highly motivated mid- to upper-level bankers. The two-year program provides a practical, timely look at the real world of banking and politics. In addition to developing a solid understanding of the industry and association, class members attain essential skills to provide immediate, effective leadership within their banking organizations. Furthermore, the bonds these bankers create with their class members through the program result in a stronger, more unified industry and a better Nebraska. Interested candidates should submit the completed application, along with a letter of recommendation to the NBA by Dec. 31, 2021. Learn More and Apply |
