Program & Membership Information:

Wisconsin Bankers Association (WBA) is pleased to sponsor the annual Community Bankers for Compliance Program (CBC), one of the most successful and longest running compliance training programs in the country.

In today’s constantly evolving regulatory environment, staying informed is crucial. The CBC Program keeps your bank ahead of the curve with up-to-date insights on ever-changing regulations and offers expert guidance for structuring and maintaining a robust in-bank compliance program. This program also fosters a collaborative environment, where compliance professionals can connect, share experiences, and exchange ideas with fellow community bankers.

• • • QUARTERLY SEMINARS. A compliance seminar is provided each quarter, concentrating on a specific bank compliance topic. Each seminar is then followed up with a Regulatory Update, allowing people new to compliance and seasoned professionals to remain current with changes in the world of compliance. The main topic is selected based on the most recent industry and regulatory developments which may have an impact on community banks.

    • MONTHLY NEWSLETTERS. CBC Members receive the Compliance Update newsletter at the beginning each month. The newsletter provides an update of compliance issues that impact community banks.

    • COMPLIANCE HOTLINE. Members of the CBC may call Young & Associates’ toll-free number or visit their website for compliance questions that arise on a daily basis. Young & Associates has many qualified professionals available to answer your questions. This service ensures that your bank is just a phone call away from the information you need in order to answer your compliance questions.

    • CBC MEMBERS-ONLY WEBPAGE. This webpage (www.y ounginc.com/cbclogin-2/) is reserved for banks that are registered members of the CBC Program. A shared user ID and password (case sensitive) are provided to each CBC Member annually. CBC Members have access to the latest information from the regulatory agencies on this page, in addition to the Compliance Update newsletters. This information can be used to enhance the regulatory compliance function at your bank.

• • • WEEKLY COMPLIANCE NEWSFLASH. A weekly email listing all new pronouncements, assuring that you will be able to stay up-to-date. This news letter will include brief descriptions, potential bank department impacts, and will include website addresses for each pronouncement.

    • CREDIT TOWARDS COMPLIANCE PRODUCTS. Enhanced members will receive a $200 credit towards the purchase of individual Young & Associates, Inc. compliance products purchased during the CBC Program year.

    • QUARTERLY CONFERENCE CALL. Enhanced members will be invited to an interactive, peer group like conference call to share important information with other attendees. Topics of discussion will come from suggestions from the group, as well as updates from the Young & Associates staff.

    • CBC ENHANCED-ONLY WEBPAGE. In addition to the CBC Members webpage, CBC Enhanced members will have access to Enhanced webpage, providing additional content and benefits not available on the CBC members webpage.

Who Should Attend?

The focus of the CBC is always regulatory compliance. It is essential that your bank’s compliance officer attend. Because regulatory compliance should be approached from a team perspective, many banks find it extremely beneficial to send additional employees to sessions on topics that relate directly to their positions in the bank. These employees typically come from the customer service, lending, or operations departments in the bank. To support this team effort, the CBC has been priced to enable your bank to send additional employees at a lower cost.
