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.
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.
