PEER CONNECTIONS

Human Resources Discussion Group

Join the Human Resources Discussion Group to connect with peers from fellow MBA member banks. Sessions focus on key HR topics such as compliance, employee benefits, recruiting, talent development, and other issues that matter most to your bank.

Meetings are informal and collaborative, creating space for open discussion and practical peer exchange. Members are welcome to attend as often as their schedules allow, and each session is designed to stand on its own while contributing to an ongoing conversation.

Have a discussion topic or speaker in mind?

Each month, we circulate a brief survey featuring questions and topics submitted by members. If you have a question, topic, or speaker suggestion for group, feel free to send it my way at any time. I would be happy to include it in an upcoming survey. Click here to email me.

Survey results are shared monthly via email and posted on our website for easy access.
