The Directors’ College is a one-day seminar designed with outside bank directors in mind. The presentations will be delivered by a group of experienced FDIC speakers and subject matter experts, and will include timely information on various issues relevant to all bank directors.
This year’s theme is “Navigating the Future with Lessons Learned” and will include the following sessions:
Risk Management Supervision (RMS) Session:
This session was developed to discuss common issues that contributed to bank failures over the years. Specifically, the presentation will discuss several common root causes and the linkage to the Board’s role in the corporate governance framework. Additionally, the presentation will highlight several warning signs related to the root causes and provide insights into real-life cases.
Division of Depositor and Consumer Protection (DCP) Session:
Utilizing a case study, this session will provide attendees with a Fair Lending discussion that focuses on Redlining and Appraisal Discrimination. We intend to provide insight into our examination activities, and discuss common ‘red flags’ and possible solutions/corrective actions. The case study will not only provide regulatory insight, but will also stress the importance of effective Corporate Governance/Management Oversight and maintaining a strong Compliance Management System (CMS).
Conversation with the Regulators
This session will provide an informal setting for participants to hear what is on regulators’ minds and to share experience and insights as a community bank board member. Members of the FDIC regional management team will highlight emerging issues, answer participant questions, and discuss topics raised by participants. The session structure will include prepared remarks, as well as an open forum for questions and discussion.
Economic and Banking Update
This session will provide national and local economic data to assist attendees in identifying key trends that have impacted and may continue to impact the industry.
