The Bank Leadership Institute is a comprehensive program designed for bankers who wish to set higher goals and enhance their personal skills for leadership roles in banking and the community.

Twenty-four bankers from around the state of Iowa participated in the 2023 Leadership Institute. Session topics included strategic thinking, DiSC profiles, public speaking, economic development, government relations, professional presence, and coaching. In February the class attended the IBA Management Conference and in March they visited the Iowa State Capitol as they learned about the IBA’s lobbying efforts. 

The final session for the 2023 Institute included an educational workshop with speaker Coach Kevin Kush who is known for leading his Boys Town High School football team of at-risk youth to an undefeated regular season and spoke to the group on the eight traits of a quality teammate.  The program also included an Iowa Banking Leadership panel with Iowa bank leaders sharing their thoughts on today’s banking climate and advice for the class.
