The calm before the #sales and #marketing storm of day 2 of @GSBWI SMS. #GSBSMS2022 #banking

Hanging with @GSBWI this morning after my @wisbank session. Those looking to take their bank’s #DigitalBanking strategy to the next level, check out GSB’s #DigitalBankingSchool in 2023. gsb.org/schools-programs/dig…

This should sound familiar to @GSBWI students as @JPNicols, leader of our @FintechForge corporate and executive programs recently wrapped up his course on Digital Banking Strategies.

This morning, we're happy to extend a hearty congratulations to our own Kari Davis, who recently graduated from @GSBWI and earned a Certificate in Executive Leadership from the @WSBCPED. Kudos to you for your hard work, Kari – and thank you for making us better, as a result!

And a few more... #GSBWI

A few images from the 2nd week at #GSBWI

The IBA was well represented at the @GSBWI Educations Directors Forum by a few of our education team members! Lyndee, Rachel and Denise attended the annual gathering of education directors to attend classes, observe faculty, network & learn more from their peers in the industry.

Such a great memory from last week! Always great talking with #Bankers about #Marketing and #StrategicPlanning @GSBWI
