Mrs. Vanessa Connor, Credit Manager, and Ms. Karen York, Human Resources Officer, recently graduated from the Graduate School of Banking at the University of Wisconsin-Madison both earning Graduate Diplomas in Banking.

The School, sponsored by the 18 state bankers associations comprising the Central States Conference of Bankers Associations and the University of Wisconsin-Madison, was established in 1945 to provide bankers with an opportunity for advanced study and research in banking, economics and leadership.

Mrs. Connor and Ms. York began their studies in August 2005. The 25-month program included rigorous two-week resident sessions held for three consecutive summers, coupled with independent studies, mandatory assignments and thesis.
Each of the three, two-week sessions covers a broad range of topics including real banking issues, and the tools and techniques needed to deal with them successfully. Participants undertake intersession projects designed to reinforce and apply the knowledge acquired in the resident sessions; assignments are customized to their organizations and often lead to improved operations and results for their institutions.
The Bank wishes to congratulate Mrs. Connor and Ms. York on their achievements.
