Have you met our Interim President/CEO, Ray Smith?
Ray has been with Western Independent Bankers since 2004 when he took on a dual role as Membership Manager and Products & Services Coordinator. Since then, he has held a role in each department within the organization (except for Finance).
One of Ray’s most memorable WIB moments was during his tenure as Exhibitor Manager. A pallet shipment for a conference in Vegas was shipped to New York, instead. The team scrambled late into the night to gather all the documents, printed items and supplies necessary to ensure that the show would go on. They were successful and no one knew the better!
Ray is excited for WIB in 2015. He looks forward to some exciting times this year.
“We are pleased that so many of you renewed your association membership earlier than ever before. This vote of confidence is encouraging to the WIB Team and WIB Boards and confirms that we are on track in leading this Association in the right direction. We are and continue to be committed to being your trusted resource to inform, educate and connect. The WIB Team has been hard at work these past months to upgrade our technology and website, so you will enjoy a much-anticipated and much-improved experience in the very near future.
We have more WIB Endorsed Programs than ever before – 25 products and services offered by 23 of the best companies serving community banks. And we are not done. We are continually looking for new ways to further your bank’s competitive advantage. You will see new WIB Endorsed Program announcements throughout 2015 to give you that edge.”
Looking forward to an exciting 2015 and a successful Annual Conference!
