More about NDBA Peer Groups
Peer groups are a powerful tool for learning, networking and professional development. They bring together bankers who share ideas and discuss issues that are common among them. Peer groups cater to a specific occupational group. Common groups in the financial industry include: compliance, human resources, internal auditing, marketing and technology.
Each peer group belongs to its members and NDBA simply provides the support. There is no cost to participate in the peer exchanges. Discussion items are submitted by the participants. Finding speakers, developing meeting agendas and coordinating meeting locations are part of the association's support to the peer group. Each group decides when, where and how often they want to meet.
