"As I started my new role as President & CEO, I wondered if I would have time for EDI. Enrolling was the best first decision I made. The time out of the bank is small in comparison to the benefits. The CEO mentor and coach that are assigned from day one have proven to be very valuable relationships. The instructors are leaders in their industry, and they make every classroom minute count. The networking with peers has solidified that we are all faced with succession management, leadership development and profit improvement challenges at our banks. I can say without hesitation I have learned and implemented several new ideas. The structure of the school is exactly what I was looking for and the instructors and staff have exceeded my expectations."
