August 12 - 8:45 am - 10:15 am “The Accountable Leader's Guide to Change” with Sam Silverstein

      Opening General Session

Change is an integral part of our world. The ability to get ahead of it, manage it, or initiate it for any organization falls squarely on the shoulders of leadership. Focusing on what people do won’t cut it anymore. Truly accountable leaders instead turn their focus on changing the way people THINK.

Business Keynote Speaker Sam Silverstein shares ground-breaking insights and tools that allow leaders to strategically create a culture that prioritizes and inspires accountability. He teaches them how to cultivate and develop leadership with every member of their team, how to communicate with purpose, motivate with mission, and empower every tier of their team to embrace change and use it to drive productivity and engagement.

With humor and heart, Sam brings audiences together to best understand what a powerful catalyst change can be for positively growing business, redefining relationships, and letting go of the status quo. Leaders who meet change head on and make it their partner, drive momentum and deliver results.

On November 23, 2013, Dan Meers came within inches of losing his life while practicing a bungee jump and zip line stunt at Arrowhead Stadium… home of the Kansas City Chiefs. What Dan anticipated being the thrill of a lifetime ended up being the spill of a lifetime.  The stunt went terribly wrong and Dan plummeted 75 feet before crashing into the stadium seats. Miraculously Dan survived.   He spent 9 days in the hospital and got some really big scars.  Dan smiles when he says, “Scars are just Tattoos that come with a Cool Story”.  During this powerful presentation Dan shares his incredible story and the important lessons that God taught him during his long road to recovery.

In this unforgettable customized presentation that is designed to inspire management and corporate leadership, Clint demonstrates the “WHY” of mentorship in the workplace, and that every employee is just one success story away from a caring somebody. Clint offers an engaging and fresh insight supporting the corporate leader while giving them solid insights on how to inspire themselves and the people they lead. Clint delivers an actionable narrative of how one teacher by the name of Mr. Jensen changed his life with a small and simple gift that brought about lasting change and purpose.

August 13 - Economist - 11:00 am - 12:15 am “Economic Trends, International Trade, and What's Ahead” with John Manzella

Economic trends, critical issues, and policy positions advanced by President Trump are impacting corporate competitiveness and the U.S. and world economy. Combined with greater levels of volatility and trade complexities, these issues are shaping our future. What does this mean to the United States and your business? This invaluable program answers many questions, reveals global dangers, and provides analysis to help the audience better understand what’s ahead and reduce risk.

August 13 - 1:45 pm - 3:00 pm “The Changing Landscape of Liquidity” with Jim Reber

Liquidity is a key concern among financial institutions and regulators. Loan growth is outpacing deposit growth while non-core funding is becoming a larger percentage of total assets. Competition for deposits is fierce as the largest banks search for high-quality, LCR-compliant retail deposits and the increase in short-term rates has spurred growth at the online banks offering more attractive yields. During this session, we will discuss “best practices” for liquidity risk management, regulatory expectations, and contingency funding strategies to help community banks supplement core deposit growth.
