directors, SDBIS board of directors and staff completed a
strategic planning in April. Below are the results.
Our
Mission:
To enhance the ability of our members to compete
effectively and profitably in the financial services
industry.
|
Vision:
South Dakota Bankers Association (SDBA) is empowered to
proactively recognize and respond to changes in the
financial services marketplace. We respond by providing
products and services that directly or indirectly enhance
the collective abilities of our members to be the leading
providers of financial services to their customers. To
maintain that vision, the SDBA will focus its efforts to
provide the highest quality services in several key areas.

4Government
Relations/Public Policy Advocacy
Advocacy is our primary purpose. We “plead the cause” of
our member banks to ensure favorable legislation. SDBA
members and staff will be the primary source of input and
feedback on legislative and regulatory proposals affecting
the financial services (banking) industry, both at the
state and national level. To be effective, we need and
actively seek the involvement, accountability and
proactive engagement of our member banks. On a national
level, we are committed to “doing it even better.”

4Banker
Education and Training
SDBA
will identify needed banker education/training programs by
staying abreast of current industry issues, best available
course materials and alternative delivery methods. We will
be a clearing house, not training developers. We intend to
reinvent ourselves in this area over the next three (3)
years.

4Other
Bank Aligned Products and Services
South
Dakota Bankers Insurance & Services, Inc. (SDBIS)
constantly searches for new opportunities to broaden the
definition of “core banking services” bringing new,
complementary products and services to SDBA’s members.
Those products and services provide bottom-line value to
member banks, bank customers and to the SDBA.
|
4Summary
SDBA
exists to serve the needs of its member banks. Its
products and services are customer driven and highly
responsive to changes in the marketplace for financial
services. The Board of Directors and Association staff
strive to add value to Association membership, recognizing
opportunities to leverage its collective strength for the
betterment of all bank members and the bankers who
volunteer their respective careers within our member
banks. The long-term viability of SDBA is directly related
to the number of products and services utilized by the
member banks. A comprehensive, linked database is
critical. Pursuit of this vision will serve to strengthen
the tie between South Dakota’s banks and this Association,
both short and long term. |
