The conversation will be led by Chris Mueller, Director – ML Market Executive, with a focus on trends in wealth management. We will then break into smaller groups for a discussion on today's business banking and insurance environment.
Rather than a traditional presentation, this session will center on group discussion and peer-to-peer dialogue, giving Industry Leaders Forum members the opportunity to share what they are experiencing within their own organizations, ask questions and discuss the financial challenges and opportunities impacting businesses throughout our region.
Please join us for networking beginning at 8:00 AM.
