Leadership Development Program

A ONE-OF-A-KIND LEARNING EXPERIENCE

A world-class faculty teamed with the Indiana Bankers Association to tailor a program that will have an immediate, positive impact on attendees and the banks that sponsor them. This series of four sessions, spaced over a eight-month period, is intense and demanding. It is designed for future bank leaders who are motivated and eager to reach full potential. An ambition to excel is a requisite for this series, as is the desire to face and learn from challenges. 

The ideal candidate for this program should have:

• The courage to overcome personal weaknesses;

• A competitive attitude that allows for productive teamwork; and

• A collaborative spirit that centers on problem-solving, with input from all levels of the bank.
