From leadership to mitigating fraud, today’s time change didn’t slow down this morning’s learning labs at #ICBALIVE.

One of my favorite parts of evening was watching a group of WVirginia community bankers, proud of the state, proud of Alice, softly singing the end to 'take me home country roads'. You could hear their passion all night about each other and about our profession #icbalive @icba

[Blake Heid @BlakeHeid]

Alice Frazier you are going to be a great leader for ICBA. #icbalive @icba

[Blake Heid @BlakeHeid]

It is so good to have somone who understands the cost of regulation and its counter productive affects on the economy.

Thanks @ICBA for making the Community Bankers of Kansas @CBAKansas feel right at home at fall meetings

[Blake Heid @BlakeHeid]

@BarretBanking @CBAKansas @ICBA @Susan_Sullivan5 @CRA_Solutions @LegacyBank_KS @FirstOptionBank @TannerJ31905795 @jaykennedy00 @KS_OSBC @gpannerlewis Chris Kelly. Thanks for keeping it fun and lively.

[Blake Heid @BlakeHeid]

Agree. Common sense... always has been. When CUs grew past their original purpose should have already happened

[Derek B. Williams @DerekBWilliams]

When you know you know! The rules were clearly defined to justify the exemption. But if you want to be a bank, pay your fair share of taxes like a bank. It's not overly complicated. #banklocally #CommunityBanks

Warren Buffett: There are levels of trade deficit that bother me

"when you are, in effect, buying more from other countries than they're buying from you, you are handing them investment funds"

"we don't want it to be a question of where we import 20% of our GDP and we export nothing. Now, we could all quit working, and we could handle little pieces of paper to the rest of the world. They could keep sending us food, they could send us autos, they could send us all kinds of things. But eventually, they have claims on all our wealth"

Trust the process: short-term pain for long-term gain.

Governor Bowman is proof that a community banking presence on the Fed Board leads to practical, bold, & transparent leadership. As a Board position opens early next year, another community banker would be an excellent choice.

[Independent Community Bankers of America @ICBA]

Sen. @berniemoreno’s exchange with Michelle Bowman highlights how her community banking experience makes her uniquely qualified to serve as @federalreserve vice chair for supervision.
