"[The BHCA Seminars] are very affordable conferences with relevant and timely subject matter issues, and have become a very relevant and valuable networking event for me."

- Randy L. Newman, Chairman, CEO & President - Alerus Financial

"The biggest benefit to being a BHCA member is the ability to interact with bank owners and vendors on common topics of interest in formal and informal settings. Members get the benefit of a large peer group of fellow bank owners who have the same challenges."

- Michael J. Finley, President - Janesville Holding Company

"The Bank Holding Company is an association of like-minded community bank ownership professionals which presents a forum for discussion of similar interests as well as providing a venue for industry sensitive information, education, and dialogue."

- Steven Wilcox, Wilcox Bancshares, Grand Rapids, Minn.

"Ideas we implemented from the seminars include mandatory retirement of both bank and holding company directors, general director responsibilities, audit and compliance committee ideas, and excellent presentations by economists over the years to assist us in funds management. And, of course, there is always the exchange of ideas with fellow bankers."

- Gary Paulson, First Holding Company, Park River, N.D.
