Board Education and Training for Financial Institutions Are Key Elements of Business Success

Opportunities to learn as a collective group will broaden the Board members’ understanding of their roles and responsibilities and the environment in which the Board operates. This understanding will increase each Director’s effectiveness and value to financial institutions. Unfortunately, Board education and training is often overlooked.
