Calling All Bank Directors

"Don't ask the barber whether you need a haircut." | Calling All Bank Directors Ep. 2

Our experience has been that many bank boards have not fully thought through their bank’s strategic plan before deciding to buy or sell. The investment banker often drives the transaction before the bank's strategic plan is in place to support the transaction. This episode will address how your bank board can better oversee the process before the transaction takes on a life of its own.

Host and AABD President David Baris is again joined by AABD Advisor Dave Martin, former commercial banker at Mellon where he managed acquisitions and former managing director at Sandler O'Neill, where he was involved in numerous bank mergers.
