Board education and training are essential “best practices” in the new era of community banking. Regulatory expectations and wise management both demand a director skill set that many directors lack. The SW Graduate School of Banking Foundation (SWGSB) and the Independent Bankers Association of Texas (IBAT) have recognized this imperative and are pleased to introduce The Certified Community Bank Director’s Program. A comprehensive curriculum has been created to address all areas of bank directorship - from duties and responsibilities to the fundamentals of bank finance. The first annual certification program will be held this fall at Southern Methodist University’s Cox School of Business on November 1-2, 2013.

The Certified Community Bank Director designation (CCBD) is a collaboration of and administered by the Independent Bankers Association of Texas (IBAT) and the SW Graduate School of Banking Foundation (SWGSB). This certification covers not only the regulatory and fiduciary responsibilities of bank directors, but also board structures and processes. In addition, the program focuses on what makes boards and directors effective as well as what is expected of them by regulators, examiners and shareholders.

Recertification is required every twenty-four months and can be fulfilled by attending accredited courses described below.

Requirements for CertificationThe educational program leading to the Certified Community Bank Director is designed to provide information they will need to serve as directors of a community bank or savings institution, and will be considered favorably in the pricing of your Directors & Officers coverage by many insurance carriers.To fulfill the requirements for a Community Bank Director Certification, an individual must:• Complete an twelve-hour Core Director Workshop presented by IBAT and SWGSB.

Core course offerings offered by other organizations will be evaluated and qualified to fulfill this requirement with proof of attendance, subject to approval by the sponsoring organizations.

• Participation in one Assembly for Bank Directors presented by SWGSB. • Other programs offered for bank directors will be accredited at the discretion of the

sponsoring organizations.• Certified Community Bank Directors (CCBD’s) are commited to upholding the

highest standards of professional conduct. As such, every CCBD must affirm his or her commitment to uphold a code of conduct developed by the sponsoring organizations.

Requirements for RecertificationTo fulfill requirements for an annual recertification, an individual must maintain 12 hours of continuing education over a two year calendar year basis. One Assembly attended over the two year period would satisfy this requirement. Course offerings administered by other providers will be evaluated and counted toward the 12 hour recertification process with proof of attendance.
