VALDOSTA -- Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ¹ÙÍø’s Langdale College of
Business Administration will partner with the Georgia Bankers
Association (GBA) for the second annual South Georgia Community
Bank Symposium from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 29, in the
student union ballroom.
The symposium includes a day of presentations from leaders in the
banking industry and will cover topics such as regulatory issues
and trends, accounting standards and how they will impact financial
institutions and legislative initiatives and public relations in
Georgia banks. The event will also include a presentation from Lee
Wetherington, director of strategic insight for ProfitStars, about
the future of community banking.
Other presenters include Angie Baker, case manager for FDIC; Steve
Powell, president of Steve H. Powell & Company; Joe Brannen,
GBA president; Harriet Price, financial institution specialist at
Steve H. Powell & Company; Rob Braswell, commissioner of the
Georgia Department of Banking and Finance; Allen Stanley, assistant
vice president of the Federal Reserve Bank; Ron Mitchell, partner
at Mauldin & Jenkins, LLC; Dr. Ellis Heath, assistant professor
of economics at Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ¹ÙÍø and Dr. Cynthia R. Tori, professor of economics
at Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ¹ÙÍø.
With more than 100 attendees at last year's symposium, Dr. Wayne
Plumly, dean of the Langdale College of Business Administration,
anticipates an equally successful event this year.
“Last year’s symposium was very well attended, which underscores
the need for Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ¹ÙÍø to be the leader in continuing education in our
region," Plumly said.
Registration for the event is $149 for the first participant and
$119 for all secondary participants. For more information about the
