Lessons Learned From an Extraordinary 70th Annual School Session
GSBC on July 30 wrapped up its 70th anniversary session. This is an important milestone in the school’s history and the courage and vision of the Colorado Board of Regents and the Colorado Bankers Association. To plan and execute the curriculum and logistics for more than 500 students as the country emerges from a year long lockdown was a challenge to say the least.

Attending GSBC allows you the opportunity to connect with and expand your network and allows you to be challenged in an educational environment. All of this contributes to a well-rounded banker, and I am so grateful to have had this experience.

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.
