Commitment to Community

The IBA Commitment to Community Campaign helps tell the story of banks’ commitment to the communities they serve. C2C videos showcase banks’ positive community impact (scroll down to view), and C2C awards highlight exceptional community bank outreach.

Member banks are invited to submit videos about their community service, or contact the IBA for complimentary filming/editing assistance. For more information about videos and/or C2C awards, please contact Emily Brooks, 317-333-7167.
