9:15 a.m. The Consummate Director (Presenters: Brennan Hailey, Special Assistant to the Regional Director & Dan Peppler, Supervisory Examiner)
It's well-documented that banking is one of the most regulated industries. Although fulfilling director responsibilities can be daunting, the FDIC is in the business of curating strong board members. This presentation discusses the regulatory landscape, expectations for board oversight, and strategies to ensure directors are equipped for success. 

10:00 a.m. Compliance Hot Topics (Presenter: Stephanie Bissell, Examination Specialist)
Regulatory compliance continues to evolve in 2024 and should be a routine part of your board discussions. This presentation discusses significant changes, including the new Community Reinvestment Act final rule, FDIC’s new Subpart B of Part 328, and the final interagency guidance for managing risks associated with third-party relationships.

11:00 a.m. Managing Liquidity in a Challenging Interest Rate Environment (Presenter: Trey Johnson, Supervisory Examiner)
Banks have experienced rapidly rising interest rates in the past two years, resulting in tightening liquidity positions.
