Each breakout session has been designed for audience participation through the use of roundtable discussions, case studies and in-class exercises. Attendance at a Directors’ College event is an excellent opportunity for directors to learn from regulators and their peers about issues that face your bank.

In addition to the breakout sessions, all directors will attend a “Director’s Duties and Responsibilities” presentation as well as a luncheon presentation covering economic issues specific to your state. The FDIC’s Division of Insurance and Research has a wealth of information on each state’s economic condition as well as emerging issues (i.e. renewable energy, commercial real estate markets) that will be discussed during this luncheon presentation.

The FDIC is working with a state trade association and the state banking department in each state in the Region to schedule a Directors’ College event in your area. To attend, you must register in advance because space is limited. Click on 2008 Schedule and Registration Contacts for information on a Directors' College in your area. To register, you will be directed to the website of the state trade association who is co-sponsoring the training. This website will be updated as dates and locations are added.
