Since most directors are not bankers, they need detailed guidance to effectively perform their tasks as board members. Whether your chairman has done the job for years or is new to the post, changing regulatory expectations and market conditions are putting greater demands on every member of the board.

This handy reference is the easiest, most reliable way to help your bank’s chairman organize, manage, and coordinate your board’s activities. Plain language, clear guidance, and lots of models and samples let the chairman see exactly how to do the job and help the rest of the board understand and carry out their responsibilities more efficiently and effectively. The manual covers all the key areas of board responsibility:

• Annual board reviews
• Establishing board committees
• Bank performance analysis from a Director’s perspective
• Managing bank capital
• Investments and funds management
• CRA responsibilities
• Meeting Board of Directors compliance requirements
