 CBI's Leaders of Tomorrow (LOT) group members held their Fall Business Meeting at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City. Guest speaker Alicia Nicoletto from Nyemaster Law updated LOT members on changes to the Uniform Commercial Code, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), cryptocurrency and other issues in digital asset management.
Scott Brickman, EVO/COO of the Swarm Collective NIL presented on that organization's mission and developments in "Name, Image, Likeness" contracts, on the rise after recent NCAA regulation changes regarding college sport player compensations. Brickman explained that an important part of the Collective's purpose is to assist players in the process, and that verifiable, ongoing community service and outreach is required as part of a player's agreement with the Collective.  Continuing pandemic concerns now look to Christmas, restricting or even cancelling many traditional festive events—like Clarinda, Iowa’s annual “Santa House."
When CBI Member PCSB Bank heard the news, the team was crushed for the kids and devised a way to provide Virtual Santa visits via its video banking platform (by POPi/o)—now available at no cost to the entire community, via web/mobile app. PCSB is excited to deliver some holiday cheer straight to families’ living rooms and has loved witnessing the joy in the kids’ faces so far! Scheduling your North Pole experience is simple and can be done online here. Happy Holidays!
