Ok, I just got approval from the Chairman of the bank to sit for the CRCM test in April after the ABA Compliance Grad School and to take the ABA review course. I really want to do this and I really think I can do this BUT - - it also makes me very nervous. I'm no "spring chicken" at 56 but I was taught by my daddy to never stop learning so I guess that's what I'm doing. Someone tell me it will be ok!!!

It will be ok! When I went to college, there was a woman who was 89 years old in my class. She graduated at 92. You're never too old to learn.

You go girl! From one red hat lady to another, nothing can stop you now!

I think we should start a bankers' virtual Red Hat Society group!

I like that idea!! A good friend of mine has started one with a number of her girlfriends who are either divorced or widowed and I'm neither so I don't qualify. But, I am a banker, for more years than I ever thought I would be, so I would qualify for this one!! Old Broads Rule!!

How old do you have to be to be a red hatter? I love the purple part of it too. I turned 50 the other day, do I qualify?

50 to be a Queen. Younger females are princesses and wear pink.

Here's the site for details.

So, me, Corkygirl, KCGeoQueen...who else is in?

If the criteria is to be 50 or older, count me in as well!

OK
I would have to be a princess but only for a couple more years. Can I join? We were thinking of starting one here at the bank.

No spring chicken,
One of my heroes is a guy who joined the consulting firm I was with after 25+ years with the OCC. He could have coasted and still known more than everybody else in the room on any given day. However, who do you suppose was the only person who every came in my office saying, "Have you ever thought about doing a program on this...did you see this article in the WSJ? Here's how I think this impacts your clients... He's an anomaly, but he still has my unqualified admiration.

When you stop learning, you've already quit. Go for it!

Congratulations for several things--interested enough in your career to continue learning, excited enough to want to advance another level, brave enough to go for it. . . . . shall I continue? Your daddy was a very wise man--Never stop learning. You go for it!! I know a bunch of bankers who will be rootin' for you.

How about a new thread to start a BOL Red Hat Society?

How Cool. This is much better the the TWO letters I got from AARP on my birthday asking me to join. I am no where near retirement (darnit)

I guess this confirms my Queendom.
