NEWS
EVENTS
GSBC
The Graduate School of Banking at Colorado’s (GSBC) 73rd Annual School Session blended core banking essentials with peer-focused initiatives to cultivate and inspire bold leaders for community banks.
The peer group program was an outstanding success in my experience at GSBC. Through my three summers I have made some great networking contacts that I have already used, but the peer group connections turned out to be not just great colleagues but wonderful friends. The GSBC experience is all about learning and pushing you in directions you never thought you would go.
ANNUAL SCHOOL SESSION
The education that is available at GSBC’s Executive Development Institute is second to none. EDI gave me an immense understanding of community banking while simultaneously cultivating innovative ideas that provided real results to my organization. One of the most valuable things of EDI was the opportunity to create close friendships and professional connections with my classmates.
