Preparedness: Financial Primer Courses

Participants of the optional EDI Preparedness Financial Primer program are those who are or intend to be enrolled in GSBC’s Executive Development Institute for Community Bankers (EDI). The goal of the Financial Primer program is to provide incoming EDI students with foundational financial knowledge they may not have.

Are you a C-level officer or the named successor of one at your bank? Do you anticipate a promotion to executive management in the next 2-3 years? If so, EDI may be for you! See what it takes to apply, including applicable tuition and fees and program dates for the upcoming 19-month program.

Participants will stay and learn at the Renaissance Boulder Flatiron Hotel in Broomfield, Colorado. Surrounded by a plethora of the area’s most beloved hot spots, the Renaissance offers unparalleled access to a wealth of destinations, including downtown Denver, Boulder and the Flatiron Crossing Mall. Hotel accommodations are reserved for participants by GSBC, and are included in program costs.

Participants can also count their EDI coursework toward Continuing Professional Education. GSBC is registered with the NASBA as a sponsor of continuing professional education on the National Registry of CPE Sponsors. State boards have final authority on the acceptance of individual courses.
