Etcetera...

Written by Ginger Laurent, LBA Chief Operating Officer

Every year during the LBA’s annual convention (which took place last week), I am reminded how much I admire the leadership of Louisiana’s banking industry. Bankers are dedicated to the industry, their community, their shareholders and their banks, in a way that provides value to all stakeholders. It is impressive to watch you bankers in action. Louisiana’s banking industry is strong because of you – we appreciate you and we thank you! 

The 2018 Louisiana Emergency Preparedness Coalition meetings finished up this week. By the end of the month, you will see the notes from the nine statewide meetings and the resources shared by presenters at this link. Test your Disaster Recovery/Business Continuity Plan. Let us know if you need additional resources.

The Loan Participation Opportunities webpage gives you the chance to post basic information about loans you want to participate with other banks in Louisiana and it allows you to view loans that others post if you want to buy participations. It’s a new service and only has a couple loans posted right now. As you all get comfortable with this member benefit, everyone will find it valuable. Click here to check it out. A bank member login is needed to access this page. Let us know if you need help.

Enjoy banking!
