Join your banking peers and local lawmakers for lunch and conversation at our series of IBA regional meetings later this summer. This year, the IBA will be hosting 8 regional meetings. We are delighted to host this important grassroots advocacy series in the cities of Evansville, Fort Wayne, Indianapolis, Merrillville, West Lafayette, New Albany, Richmond and Bloomington.

Each meeting will include an IBA and legislative update beginning at 11 a.m. (local time), followed by lunch with local legislators. The banker-only update is a prime opportunity to catch up on IBA offerings and how your bank can get engaged at a deeper level. Legislators are being asked to join us for lunch at noon (local time). The lunch portion is intended to provide an opportunity to network with elected officials. Each regional meeting offers an ideal environment to start a new relationship with your legislator, or build upon an existing relationship, and talk about issues that are important to our industry.

Although the IBA invites each legislator to attend, we encourage you to also personally reach out to your legislators and invite them to attend. Members of the House of Representatives can be reached at 317-232-9600, while members of the Senate can be reached at 317-232-9400.

Remember that attendance by your bank will count toward the bank’s grassroots portion of the Five Star Member goal.
