People in business see opportunities all the time — some of them significant, and others less so. It all depends on your perspective. Presenters at the BHCA Spring Seminar will help you consider “Perspectives on Opportunity.” We have two days of sessions scheduled, designed to help you see new opportunities, and to see familiar opportunities in new ways. The industry’s leading experts will be offering thoughts on current conditions, new tax policy, cyber security, sales training, asset/liability management and culture. 

The 2021 version of the May 3-4 Spring Seminar is all virtual, providing desktop access to compelling industry education. We open each morning with an in-depth assessment of industry conditions, and then come back after lunch with three to-the-point sessions on very specific industry opportunities. Steve Williams, the president of Cornerstone Advisors, will share research about organizations that are blazing a successful path in financial services, during his Monday morning presentation. During the Tuesday morning session, Don Musso, president of FinPro Advisors, will cover a broad array of topics dominating discussions among bank directors at community banks across the country. Williams and Musso have addressed BHCA groups before and attendees have honored their presentations with the highest ratings possible.

The new administration in Washington D.C. is expected to bring changes to the nation’s tax policy and experts from Eide Bailly will help us understand what’s likely coming. Technology and security issues seem to go together, and Caitlin Houlton Kuntz of Fredrikson & Byron will alert us to risks we may not have anticipated. Scott Hildenbrand of Piper Sandler and Kevin Schalk of Baker Tilly, in separate sessions, will offer their takes on current market conditions and how banks can make the most of them. 

While the pandemic has changed many business practices, it has disrupted the sales process substantially. Jack Kasel of the Anthony Cole Training Group will look at how to make the most of your sales team, even when you have to manage or coach them remotely. Employee performance is often a result of the culture of the institution. Good culture doesn’t just form on its own; leadership needs to be deliberate about defining what they want and implement policies and programs to make it happen. Julie Peterson Klein, who has been the Chief Culture Officer at Bell Bank for more than two decades, will offer insight into making the most of your culture.
