The South Dakota Division of Banking, South Dakota Bankers Association and Independent Community Bankers of South Dakota are holding a series of town hall meetings across South Dakota May 12-16 to gather input from community bankers.
The meetings are part of an ongoing nationwide community bank project sponsored jointly by the Conference of State Banking Supervisors (CSBS) and the Federal Reserve System.
An electronic survey will be sent to banks before the roundtable meetings. Responses will be used to guide the development of legislative recommendations which CSBS, state regulators and banking trade associations can use to engage key members of Congress and to encourage their support of legislation that will improve the outlook for community banks across the country.
The meetings will be held:
- Aberdeen: May 12, 1 p.m. CDT, Dacotah Bank, 308 S. Main St.
- Sioux Falls: May 14, 9 a.m. CDT, ONE AMERICAN BANK, 515 S. Minnesota Ave.
- Mitchell: May 14, 2 p.m. CDT, CorTrust Bank NA, 100 E. Havens
- Rapid City: May 15, 10 a.m. MDT, Dacotah Bank, 125 Main St.
- Fort Pierre: May 16, 9 a.m. CDT, Dakota Prairie Bank, 1204 Yellowstone St.
A great deal of momentum was gained following last year's survey and meetings, and many lessons were learned by working more closely with the academic community. Register to attend.
