About Bankers Online

BankersOnline.com is a joint effort by Glia Group, Inc. and the Bankers Information Network.

The principals behind Glia Group are familiar to many bankers. Mary Beth Guard spent many years as a banking lawyer, serving as general counsel for the Oklahoma Banking Department and the Oklahoma Bankers Association. She is nationally known as a banking speaker and author. Carin Eisenhauer spent more than a decade working with bankers on complex compliance matters. Dr. Michele Petry is an Internet pioneer and visionary who spent several years in the banking industry as a technology consultant. As Internet pioneers, the three women developed a number of groundbreaking informational websites, dating back to 1994. Glia Group produces the highly acclaimed BOL Learning Connect webinars.

The Bankers Information Network ("BIN"), headed by George Milner, offers video training programs through the Bankers Video Library.
