Additional Benefits
How to Be Our Experts
One of the benefits of your membership and affiliation with the Georgia Bankers Association is the ability to share your expertise and wisdom with our bankers through our GBA University educational programs. We give priority preference to Strategic Partners and Associate Members to fill program slots that bankers identify as important. If your company has good speakers or sessions about industry trends, technical education, expert insight, ideas for revenue generation, compliance and other issues, please suggest a topic and a speaker to us for consideration. We try to match those with banker-driven requests or to see if the topics you provide are of interest during our planning. If you have topics, content and experts you’d like us to consider, please contact Bo Brannen, 404.420.2014.
