GSBC allowed me to expand my knowledge of banking, not only in my area of expertise, but in all facets of the profession. The learning and networking opportunities along with the exceptional faculty created an avenue for my professional growth.

It is for these reasons and many more that GSBC is the school of choice for Northeast Bank.

If you have C-suite aspirations, I highly recommend this program. The instruction is world-class. Faculty and coaches offer classroom instruction and practical exercises that benefited me as a leader and had a positive impact on our bank’s performance, our customers, our employees and the communities we support. A vital part of this program is also getting away from the day-to-day operations of the bank, spending time immersed in learning with and from peers who are facing the same challenges and opportunities. My classmates will be a valuable network for me for years to come.
