What People Are Saying

The Executive Leadership Symposium and Community Bankers Summit was an exemplary event covering all of the major concerns facing community bankers today. The connections made and lessons learned at this event are essential for community banks to stay relevant and continue to serve the communities that depend on them. This event is another example of the GSBC’s commitment to excellence and providing continuing education to the alumni of the school.

Staying relevant and current in today’s ever-changing economy is more important now than ever. Attending GSBC's Executive Leadership Symposium at the Leeds School of Business allowed me to reconnect with other alumni and, more importantly, garner valuable insight and information from a variety of leadership and industry specialists. The Symposium was high quality, hands on and suitable to growing as a leader.

The Community Bankers Summit was beyond my expectations by providing over-the-top valuable information that I will use in my job daily. The Leadership Symposium was top-notch; the speakers were excellent and presented their knowledge in a way that pertained to us as community bankers. What a great experience!
