The July/August issue of the “Wisconsin Banker” brings insight to readers on the takeaways from the WBA Fraud Summit and the impact banks have on their communities through public service. Readers will learn the new theme for the year from 2026–2027 WBA Board Chair Joe Peikert, CEO at Wolf River Community Bank, and the full list of WBA Board members serving beside Peikert this year.
The 2025–2026 Year in Review is available to the membership in this edition. This issue also includes an invitation to the fourth annual Wisconsin Bankers Foundation (WBF) Gala and information on other recent WBF initiatives. Learn about a range of banking topics, spanning right to cure provisions under the Wisconsin Consumer Act (WCA); growing while maintaining consistency, flexibility, and community connections; and regulatory relief.
The July/August edition also highlights the stewardship of outgoing WBA committee chairs; the 2027 WBA Scenes of Wisconsin photo contest winners; WBA BOLT Leadership Academy graduates; four WBF Spring Scholarship winners; the seven banks awarded $50,000 in grants to support housing, economic, development, community investment, and financial and cyber literacy; our Community Advocate Spotlight on Dan Ravenscroft, president and CEO of Royal Bank; and the latest BankWork$ graduates.
