Become a Compliance Forum Member
Connect with peers, expand your compliance knowledge
As the Wisconsin Bankers Association (WBA) enters the 2024–2025 fiscal year, do not forget to renew or join the membership of the WBA Compliance Forum. WBA’s annual Compliance Forum membership provides numerous opportunities to expand your network and further develop your understanding of state-specific and national compliance matters.
“WBA’s Compliance Forum is the place to get updates on recent trends, hear from experts on emerging topics, and connect with other compliance professionals,” says Scott Birrenkott, WBA director – legal and June session speaker. “Each session provides great networking opportunities and the ability to share experiences.”
“As a subject matter, banking compliance is unique in that it manages to be simultaneously vast, yet also nuanced. It can be tough to sift through, which is why opportunities to meet, stay abreast of trends, and discuss with peers are so valuable,” adds Birrenkott.
Membership includes:
• Attendance for any two bank staff members at each of the three Compliance Forum sessions throughout the year. Additional bank staff may register for an individual session for an additional single-session registration fee.
• In-depth information on key compliance issues, including state-specific matters.
• Networking opportunity with other compliance officers.
• Access to the WBA Compliance Forum email group for connecting with other forum members throughout the year.
• Available credits: CLE and other compliance certifications.*
WBA’s Compliance Forum is WBA’s premier Wisconsin-specific program focused on presenting updates and addressing the latest hot topics in compliance for all Wisconsin bank compliance professionals and bank legal counsel.
The first session, to be held on June 25 at Chula Vista in Wisconsin Dells, will feature the following speakers: Scott Birrenkott, Director – Legal, WBA; Heather MacKinnon, VP – Legal, WBA; Linda Albrecht, Principal, Eide Bailly; and Stephanie Jennings, Manager, Wipfli LLP.
The topics for each session will vary, which is why your team is given the flexibility to send different staff to the different sessions, or to add additional staff to certain single sessions based on topics as needed by your bank.
Session 2: November 5, 2024 at Glacier Canyon Conference Center in the Wisconsin Dells
Session 3: February 18, 2025 at the Holiday Inn and Convention Center in Stevens Point
