Proclamation recognizes the important role independent community banks play in Iowa’s economy.
On March 31, 2017 CBI members witnessed Governor Terry Branstad sign a proclamation declaring April as Independent Community Banking Month. Those present included Iowa community bank presidents and members of CBI's Leaders of Tomorrow, during that group's 15th Annual Leadership Development Conference.
“For more than 150 years, independent community banks across Iowa have served as the heartbeat of their communities,” said Community Bankers of Iowa CEO Dave Caris. “Declaring April Community Banking Month recognizes the significant role that independent community banks play in stimulating their local economies through economic development opportunities and by reinvesting their deposits within their communities through common sense commercial, agricultural, real estate, and consumer loans.”
Governor Branstad was pleased to sign the proclamation and recognize the vital role independent community banks have played and will continue to play in Iowa’s economy.
More than 300 independent community banks are located in Iowa, representing more than 1,000 communities across the state and employing over 5,000 Iowans. CBI members have in excess of
$3.2 billion dollars in loans to consumers, small businesses, and the agricultural community.
