Laffitte: ICBA is different because it only is focused on the needs of community banks. They are always on the front lines advocating for community bank concerns. They help keep us informed with what is going on through mailers, emails, social media or NewsWatch Today. They also provide an avenue for training our staffs and directors through online courses, videos and seminars.
