As the geographical concentration issues have been resolved, CBI has evolved their political efforts to concentrate on issues that are of benefit to Iowa’s Community Banks and their local economies. Our ability to bring forward those issues and projects and to coordinate with other like minded organizations, is supported by our ability to make political contributions to candidates and legislators. Now is the time to consider making your annual contribution to the CBIPAC. Keeping in mind that 100% of your contribution stays right here in Iowa, we would encourage you to consider asking your directors to contribute as well.
