EDUCATION & MEETINGS
The Association schedules educational programs of a timely nature which are held in
conjunction with its Annual Convention in September, as well as its Mid-Winter
seminar. The MIBA has conducted a series of Basic Banking seminars throughout the state at geographical locations
convenient to the majority of its member banks. These seminars are designed to limit bank's expense of
training employees as well as for the convenience of the attendees. Seminars are held at locations statewide limiting travel and overnight expenses. Cost effective and
convenient educational programs are essential to the success and effectiveness of the operation of community banks, and the Association will continue to offer
its educational seminars in a convenient and cost effective manner allowing greater access to quality educational programs for its member bank's employees
at affordable fees.
The Association sponsors two annual meetings for its membership each year providing
a forum for both social and educational interchange.
An Annual Convention is held in September each year. This Annual Convention creates an atmosphere to socialize, discuss
problems, exchange new ideas, and participate in programs featuring both state and elected officials and regulators of the banking industry in Missouri.
Bank related businesses providing products and services are encouraged to
participate in the exhibit and trade show at the Annual Convention. Special informational and educational programs are held in conjunction
with this annual meeting. The MIBA's Annual Convention ranks as one of the best state community banking
conventions in the country.
The Association holds a mid-winter seminar each year in January at a location
selected by the Board of Directors. The
seminar locations are selected for their resort appeal and may be either domestic or foreign. Group travel
and hotel accommodations at special rates are made available to seminar
registrants. Seminar topics related
to issues of importance to the banking industry are presented in an informal and relaxed atmosphere.
