In this session, hear from one of Baker Hill’s lending experts as they discuss proven strategies for driving efficiencies in small business and commercial lending. Our presenter will reveal best practices for establishing effective loan origination processes and considerations when identifying new lending opportunities, from small business to commercial, including how to evaluate and adjust credit policies in the current economic environment and more.
While many community banks saw strong small business and commercial loan growth in 2022, business demand for credit will likely fluctuate over the next 12 months, as the Federal Reserve implements additional interest rate hikes to fend off inflation. Meanwhile, ongoing supply chain issues, the Great Resignation and not to mention, the ripple effects of the pandemic, means that community banks must be prepared to navigate a complex lending environment. That’s why audience members will hear real-world examples and gain practical insights they can apply within their own financial institution to ensure strong portfolio performance in 2023 and beyond.

Banks and CUs are seeing more cash-deposit volume at the ATM than ever before. With notes-in reaching the tipping point, there is an urgency within the industry to understand how to implement a recycling program and how to size/measure the expected benefits. With cash servicing comprising 20%-30% of the ATM’s average operating expense, recycling-enabled ATMs will be a crucial component of controlling future costs that are expected to increase over the next 5 years. This presentation will take you through the key steps in determining how to prioritize the deployment of recycling across your network, estimated cost savings associated with servicing a recycling network, the hidden benefits of offering denomination selection options and what your FI must do to prepare for a recycling future.
Like it or not, Climate Risk regulations are coming for banks, but climate-related risk exists nonetheless. Banks that take the lead can help shape the regulations and make them more practical and realistic while developing a system of measuring real climate risk that threatens their institution. So even though there are no climate risk regulations now, bankers should be incentivized to develop and implement climate risk reports and policies.
Learn about this growing and important topic. Stay ahead of the crowd and the regulators.

However, security strategy for most organizations surrounding this type of testing has yet to take the next step. This session examines the importance of planning and performing assumed breach penetration testing and the value that these exercises can ultimately provide.
Legendary member of the four-time World Champion Pittsburgh Steelers, Rocky Bleier is one of America's most courageous sportsmen. Crippled by enemy fire in wartime conflict, he fought overwhelming odds and demonstrated the courage and determination to overcome his injuries, becoming one of the NFL's premier running backs.
Rocky Bleier's life story -- a gripping tale of courage on both the football fields of America and the battlefields of war -- has held audiences in rapt attention for years. Yet, the motivational message behind it, detailing how ordinary people can become extraordinary achievers, defines success in the new American century.
With the same optimism, sense of humor and steadfast determination that were his trademarks as a Pittsburgh Steelers running back, Rocky Bleier takes banking leaders from his early years through his professional career and talks about the lessons he learned along the way…lessons that we all can benefit from.
Not falling within the ideal of what a running back should look like, Bleier had to run harder and play smarter to be able to stand out. Despite his drive and ability to make the big play, the Pittsburgh Steelers only considered him a late round pick. But before the season ended that first year, he was drafted again -- this time by the United States Army. At the height of the Vietnam War, Bleier was thrust into combat early and was seriously wounded when his platoon ran into an ambush. Receiving wounds from both rifle fire and grenade fragments in his legs, he was barely able to walk and his professional football career seemed to have ended before it began.
For more than two years, he drove himself. Little by little he overcame obstacles and fought his way back. He not only made the Pittsburgh Steelers, but also eventually became a starting running back on a team that won four Super Bowls and became the greatest football team of the 20th century.
The hard lessons Rocky Bleier learned early in his life that helped him overcome adversity and reach his goals, have paid off after football. Some of those lessons are seen between the lines in the popular book on his life, Fighting Back, and an ABC-TV movie of the week by the same name. We’re thrilled to welcome him to BankWorld, and to show community bankers what they can learn from the lessons of an American hero.
