Learn the travel tricks at Milwaukee's breakout sessions
Banker Breakout Sessions will take their usual place at the beginning and end of conference activities in Milwaukee at the BankTravel Conference February 7-9. Two breakouts will take place on Sunday, February 7, prior to the opening session and a final breakout will take place on Tuesday afternoon immediately following the closing luncheon.
“Our volunteers are in place and ready to go,” said BankTravel’s Teresa Burton. “It’s a pleasure to work with eager bank directors who step up to run these important sessions.”
This year’s sessions will include the popular “First Time Attendee” session that was begun last year. Moderators for that meeting will be Rebecca Yarbrough of First Georgia Banking Company in Cornelia, Georgia, and Amy Bradham of The Patterson Bank in Waycross, Georgia.
The other session on opening day will be a thorough discussion of “Winning Trips for the Coming Year!” This was the closing session last year and there was a strong feeling in the room that this session should be given more time this year as an opening breakout. The moderators will be Karen Geersen of Security First Bank in Martin, South Dakota, and Donna Emmer of Denmark State Bank in Denmark, Wisconsin.
The content for the closing session on Tuesday in Milwaukee is being developed and will take place for about 45 minutes after the closing luncheon. Bankers who are staying for sightseeing or fam trips are encouraged to attend. This session’s moderators will be Deb Connor of Community First Bank in Keosauqua, Iowa and Kay Baker of Southwest Bank in Fort Worth, Texas.
Thanks again to all these BankTravel volunteers!
