BHCA Leadership Luncheon

The BHCA is pleased to host its second annual leadership lunch on Tuesday, April 30. We will recognize about a dozen outstanding bankers nominated by peers from banks across the Upper Midwest. In partnership with BankBeat magazine and BankBeat.Biz, we will introduce you to bankers who are making a difference in their banks, their industry and their communities.

We are offering a luncheon-only rate that makes it very reasonable to solely attend the luncheon. And if you would like to buy a table at the luncheon, click here. If you like, enjoy the lunch and stay for the entire day. We have a special Tuesday-only registration rate that includes all of Tuesday’s events. Whether you are a BHCA member or not, you will find exceptional value in the one-day registration option.
