Does your institution give back to the community? Do you want your institution to receive national recognition at the National Conference for Community Bankers for its good work and be highlighted in national banking publications?

The opportunity is here to have your institution recognized for all its charitable efforts! Submit an entry for the 2009 ABA Community Bank Awards! The submission deadline has been extended to December 15, 2008.
