Commerce Street Capital’s Chair-man William D. ”Tex” Gross recently said, ““Whether you are in Bowie, Bellville or Beau-mont, today you must have a world

view.” Gross offered this statement as he opened the recent Commerce Street Capital’s (CSC) 14th Annual Banking Conference. A key theme of this year’s conference was the impact global and national issues have on local community banks. The keynote speakers shared their viewpoints with the more than 200 regional and com-munity bankers in attendance. Reva Bhalla, vice president of Glob-al Analysis for Stratfor Global Intelli-gence, in her presentation entitled “The Global Crunch – How We Got Here. Where We’re Going” explained the US is in a much stronger position for growth than the rest of the world, given that the projected demographics of the US population is younger and the US is less dependent on world trade than peers–both points of optimism. John Mauldin, chairman of Mauld-in Economics, said he believes a re-cession is on horizon for the US. But, he is optimistic that there is a path to stimulate growth, create new jobs, and spur economic recovery. The plan must be radical and disruptive to the current US business model. Danielle DiMartino Booth, presi-dent of Money Strong, LLC, and final keynote speaker, wrapped up the con-ference by discussing the state of debt in the US and the duty of the Federal

Reserve to restore the financial mar-kets to their proper function as price discovery mechanisms. Dory Wiley, CSC president/CEO, offered his annual state of the banking industry and market overview saying the industry continues to grow, main-taining profitability while minimizing risk in spite of low interest rates, low inflation, and increased regulation. Wiley said, “Indications are the 2016 market will continue to be vola-tile based upon weakness in the US and world economy and political in-stability across the globe. This volatil-ity presents a buying opportunity for banks.” It should come as no surprise that Wiley is predicting better performance for bank stocks than the stock market (10% vs. 3%-5% returns) this year. He said it is a “great time to buy bank stocks.” Continuing with the format from previous conferences, the attendees heard insights from panels of bankers

and CSC staffers about ways to posi-tively influence bank performance. The key take-aways from each ses-sion were:• C.K. Lee, CSC managing director for the financial institutions group, offered an M&A update. He said in-dustry consolidation has lagged in the first part of 2016 because of the en-ergy market downturn and decreases in acquirer currencies. He did predict a return to more robust M&A activity by yearend 2016. “There will be buying opportunities of banks in rural areas due to succession and demograph-ics,” Lee stated.• Scott MacDonald, Ph,D., and presi-dent/CEO of the Southwestern Gradu-ate School of Banking at SMU, mod-erated a panel of three community bankers. On the topic of continued growth through challenging environ-ments, the panel offered advice: keep up with technology, create a culture of customer service, become a relation-

ship management champion, deliver customized offerings of products and services; and know what your bank does best and keep doing it.• Brian Johnson, CSC managing direc-tor in the financial institutions group, moderated a panel of three commu-nity bankers who addessed the topic of recruiting talent for banks and bank boards of directors. The take-aways from this discussion of how to suc-cessfully manage multi-generation or-

OPPORTUNITIES (continued from Page 3) ganizations: implement “reverse men-toring” where younger bankers (think Millennials) assist older colleagues in understanding their mindsets and current technology, and older col-leagues mentor younger colleagues about optimizing interpersonal com-munications skills. Other take-aways: develop a strategic plan for commu-nications with employees; and seek out training programs not only for new hires but also for the manage-ment team as well as advisory and full

board members. • Guillermo Borda, CSC’s Small Busi-ness Investment Companies (SBICs) group, discussed the Community Re-investment Act (CRA) credit. The take-away: banks should develop a port-folio of public welfare investments by investing in assets such as SBICs, Low Income Tax Credit Funds, CRA Mutual Funds, and MBS. Borda said CRA op-portunities could produce one of the biggest profit centers in the bank. Wiley concluded up the conference by offering a recap of the day’s presen-tations: the US is the best place in the world to live and work; risk is every-where, learn to deal with it; and bank stocks are good investment opportu-nites. “The sky’s the limit” for commu-nity banking Q
