Win a pizza party
hosted by CBI! |
In the past, CBI’s Best of the Best Competition has given focus to activities made by community banks throughout the month of April. But community outreach is a year-round commitment, and the pandemic year of 2020 gave rise to prime examples of the efforts made by community banks every day.

To that end, CBI’s Best of the Best Competition will forever be expanded to include community banks’ activities all year long. We want to spotlight all of the ways Iowa’s community banks are making a difference on Main Street in their fundraising, education and volunteerism efforts, as well as spreading the community banking message. And we want to reward one standout bank with a pizza party for the entire staff, compliments of CBI!
Capture your bank’s employees doing what
they do best - serving their community.
