Human Resources Discussion Group

HUMAN RESOURCES DISCUSSION GROUP

Join the Human Resources Discussion Group on the third Thursday of each month to connect with peers from fellow MBA member banks. These sessions focus on key HR topics, including compliance, employee benefits, recruiting, talent development, and more. It’s a great opportunity to share ideas, ask questions, and discuss the issues that matter most to your bank.

Attend as often as your schedule allows—these informal, collaborative meetings are designed to give members a space to share ongoing challenges, gain fresh perspectives, and learn from one another.

Have a discussion topic or speaker in mind?

Each month, we conduct a brief survey featuring questions submitted by members. If you have a question, topic, or speaker suggestion for the Human Resources Discussion Group, feel free to send it my way anytime. I would be happy to include it in the next survey! Click here to email me.

Survey results will be shared each month via email and compiled on our website for easy access. Be sure to check back regularly for the latest updates and resources.
