The Community Bankers SchoolDear Community Banker:WHAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE?Have you wondered what makes some community bankers more successful thanothers? Is it native intelligence, talent or dedication? Is it that one person seekssuccess and the other doesn't? I believe the difference lies in what each personknows and how he or she makes use of that knowledge.“I throughly enjoyed myweek at The CommunityBankers School. The dayswere long, but we learnedso much information. Itwas extremely beneficial.”Tyler Ochs, AVPThe Peoples StateBank, NewtonThat is why I am writing to you about The Community Bankers School. The purpose of this school is to impart knowledge participants can use every day in community banking. The Community Bankers School (CBS) is available to communitybankers nationwide, making it The School for community bankers in the country.In addition, CBS is sponsored by ten state community-banking associations.A SCHOOL UNLIKE ANY OTHERYou see, CBS is unique. A subcommittee annually evaluates faculty, curriculumand student comments to enhance the value of CBS. Each year, the faculty hasbeen improved and the curriculum updated to include timely topics and the latestlearning techniques. CBS is conducted in the state-of-the-art facilities of IllinoisWesleyan University.KNOWLEDGE IS THE DIFFERENCEIn looking at the alumni list, I see that more than 1,000 people have graduatedfrom this school during the last 30 years. More than 90 percent of attendees eachyear have evaluated it as “excellent” or “very good.” The vast majority of graduateshave been promoted or taken on new responsibilities at their banks. More than 40individuals are now bank presidents and 15 are outside directors — a track recordthat proves knowledge makes the difference.MY PERSONAL GUARANTEEPlease put my statement to the test by enrolling one of your associates in Class Iof the Community Bankers School. I guarantee that this individual will return tothe bank more motivated and better equipped to contribute to theoverall success of your community bank. Should CBS not measure upto your expectations, you may contact me within two weeks of the student's return and the full tuition will be refunded to your bank!AN INVESTMENT IN SUCCESSEnroll a candidate now! It's a no-risk investment in your communitybank's success.Sincerely,Melinda McClelland, Administrator,The Community Bankers School andVP of Education & Special Events,Community Bankers Association of Illinois
