Does anyone have any recommendations for Compliance Forums or quarterly compliance groups that are great outlets for learning and sharing about compliance concerns?
Thanks.

I am not aware of any really local strong ones, and would interested as well.
The CBW offers a quarterly forum in Madison where they bring in Young & Associates to present on a topic each quarter, and it is usually pretty good (plus many take aways and access to their helplines), but I find that its not a very aggressive group in terms of networking and discussion and such.
I am not sure if the WBA sponsers anything more local.. I would be nice if they do.
But I too am interested.

I would check with your state banking association to see if they are aware of any groups (even if they are competitors). I would also ask other bankers in your area, as they may have groups they belong to. Sometimes groups like this are informal, i.e. just send out questions/resources to a small circle of bankers via email and share responses.
Depending on where you are, there may be more formal groups or less formal groups.

THe WBA DOES offer compliance forums three times a year to its members. One is in Milwaukee, one in the Dells and I think one in Stevens Point. The cost is $1000 a year and you can have two attendees per session.
Well worth it and great for networking.
I also recently received info from Wipfli, the consulting group. They also do 3-4 sessions, with a slightly higher cost.

I go to both the WBA and Wipfli Compliance Forums and find them both to be very helpful. Wipfli's is a much smaller group (10 - 15) people that gather from the same area. Even though we are competitors, in the compliance world we are all striving to just "get it right" and try and help each other in any way possible. WBA's is on a bigger scale but I gather good information from it also.

We regularly attend both the CBW and WBA compliance forums. While sponsored by two completely different organizations, the material provided in the cost from each I have found to be an invaluable resource.
Bill Elliott of Young and Associates is the presenter for the CBW seminars and he's always excellent. He also provides his email address in the event you have any questions.
Heather McKinnon normally hosts the WBA Compliance Forums and is a wealth of knowledge as well. I have also called her with questions from time to time and provides very thorough answers.

Is anyone planning on attending the CBW forum next week in Madison?? JJ is sending me in his place (going on vacation--lucky duck) and would like to be able to meet anyone from BOL in person.

LOL......I was there!! Sorry, I hadn't been on BOL in a while so I didn't see your message. I was sitting near the back of the room in the middle section.

I think I was in the 2nd to last row about the 3rd seat from the left if you're looking at the speaker.
We will be signing up for next year as well....been going for several years now.
Look forward to meeting you!

Next meeting is February 1 - let's come up with a plan for how we will be able to recognize each other? I would wear a hat...but people would laugh...any thoughts? We aren't really in a 'rose in a book' type of atmosphere...

We have over a month to figure out a way to identify ourselves. We could all agree to meet in a certain corner of the room right before lunch or something like that

Wow! I was also there! I attend the CBW Compliance Program and also Wipfli's Compliance Forum in Madison every year. I used to attend the WBA forums also, but it got to expensive to go to all three. I am so curious now as to who all of you are!
Hope to see all of you in Febuary!

I see the full range from jeans to suits (suits more so for the local folks who plan to go back to the office afterwards)... I usually wore jeans and a polo or button down.
Either way, dress in what is comfortable for you.

Much nicer location this year, and nice being on the eastside for the Milwaukee area people.

Yes, I think last January it was at the Crowne Plaza. It was a nice place.

I am doing jeans :-) and a pullover jacket most likely. It is always cold in those rooms. I do love the new location, easier to get to either way, and the food is MUCH better for lunch!

It was soooooooooooooo cold last time---I didn't think I would ever warm up. I haven't been to the new location yet, but looking forward to it--closer to Milwaukee.

I have been to the new location, and it is much nicer, but those big rooms are always a little cooler and I am generally always cold. Of course, I am from Superior WI originally so maybe it is just still from 20 years ago living there....

It was nice getting to meet you the other day, Jackie. I didn't formally introduce myself to Beagle Queen (Kelly?)though. Was there anyone else from BOL there? I hope the next one is more rivoting than this one was......ugh! LOL

I did the RE one in 2010 - in 2011 I did do the Deposit Compliance School with WBA, and in May I am going to attend the 'Compliance Officer School' with WBA. The CBW seminars and the WBA schools are very different, but I find both helpful for different reasons.

Was anyone surprised by the fairly low attendance at this week's forum? I couldn't believe the number of empty chairs!! And I walked in a minute before it started.......LOL
Apparently, not many people worried about the CTR/SAR changes! Or Reg Z for that matter!

I know i was surprised to see so many books still waiting to be picked up at our first break.
I was sitting closer to the front this time (eyes acting older than they are)--didn't see you this time.

I got there WAY too early and was sitting in the VERY back row. We were all talking about all the empty chairs, and the extra books as well. First I thought maybe they put extra rows in since they moved the food outside, but not certain.

LOL.....probably why I couldn't see you when we were sitting. I thought I walked past you during one of the breaks though......I was probably making a bee-line for the ladies' room.

I was just at the Crowne last Thursday for the BSA/AML Workshop. It was freezing when we first got there, but I think there were enough complaints that it improved immensely within an hour. I wore my wool coat for the morning and I was comfortable without it in the afternoon.

For United Way we are having a "Ten for Tennies" Day on that Wednesday--pay $10 and get to wear jeans and tennis shoes--we rarely get to wear jeans so it's a big treat.
So I'm in for the jeans too.
