Happy New Year, everyone! As I write this, we are enjoying an open winter with highs approaching 50 degrees this week. What a difference a year makes. Last year at this time, my quarter-mile driveway and turn-around felt more like 5 miles and looked more like a snow tunnel than a paved driveway. Absent the cold snap a couple weeks ago, it’s been a very mild winter. I hope I haven’t jinxed it by commenting too soon as there’s plenty of winter left.

ICBND Chairman Jason Johnson, in his Chairman’s Remarks on the previous page, commented about the ongoing battles at federal level and the upcoming ICBA Convention (March 14-17) and the ICBA Capital Summit (April 28 – May 1). These are great events to network with your counterparts across the country and advocate for community banking in Washington, DC.

Closer to home, we are proud of the calendar of events that Jessie and Lindsay have assembled for 2024. If you’ve not already received them, you will be getting “Save the Date” postcards for our 2024 educational events and a separate postcard for the 56th Annual ICBND Convention. A summary of those events is as follows:
