Depopulation, regulation, and customer expectations all play a role in the challenges faced by community banks in today’s economy. Community banks are merging with larger banks at a substantial rate. The cost of regulation and technology make it challenging for community banks to compete, but these banks are often the cornerstones of our rural communities.

Register now to hear a lively discussion about the future of community banks. Finding the balance between financial and community responsibility is a significant future consideration for the livelihood of community economics.

Dr. Ernie Goss, MacAllister Chair and Professor of Economics at Creighton University, Dr. Beverly Kracher, Robert B. Daugherty Endowed Chair in Business Ethics and Society, and Ms. Esther George, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City discuss the sustainability of community banks on December 5, at 7:30 a.m., at Creighton’s Heider College of Business. Please join us.
