The Bank Holding Company Association in partnership with BankBeat magazine, is pleased to invite you to its second annual Awards luncheon, set for 12:25 on Tuesday, May 6, 2025 at the Westin Galleria Hotel in Edina, Minn. This luncheon provides an opportunity for you to receive a memento of the BankBeat magazine recognition you received in 2024.
We will be honoring approximately a dozen people with personalized table-top trophies. You will be invited to the stage to receive your award; we will photograph you with your award and email you a copy. 
The event opens with a lunch, served in the GW Baird Ballroom at the Westin. After the awards have been presented, inspirational speaker Hollie Hoffman will deliver an informative and entertaining message called “The Survivor Way.” The last woman standing on the 21st season of the CBS reality show “Survivor, Nicaragua,” Hoffman shares her experience in a way that will encourage you to think about your leadership skills and how to apply them simply and effectively, both in the workplace and in your home life.
You are invited to attend the luncheon free of charge as a guest of the Bank Holding Company Association, which is hosting the event as the concluding session of its Spring Seminar. We encourage you to invite colleagues from your bank or other circles. Luncheon event tickets are available for $65 each. Tables, which accommodate 10 people, are available for $500.
This is a truly special event that you will want to attend and share with your closest friends and colleagues. Questions can be directed to Tom Bengtson, BankBeat publisher and BHCA Managing Director. Contact him via email at Tom@theBHCA.org or by phone at 952-835-2275 ext 101. We look forward to seeing you there!
