This month, we shine the Guru Spotlight on our own Sam Ott. Sam's is a familiar voice to those of you who have participated in BOL Learning Connect webinars. Among his many contributions, Sam often wears the moderator's hat for Learning Connect sessions; he also gathers and prepares the lists of questions asked during the sessions, and compiles all of the questions that are addressed by the presenters in the Q&A document issued after each session.

Sam also identifies the daily regulatory news issues brought to subscribers of BOL's daily Compliance Briefing, after scouring his many information services for key compliance headlines.

Sam's legal and banking experience make him a valuable member of the BankersOnline team.

Join Sam as he presents his BOL Learning Connect webinar on The Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 on Thursday, September 29.

    NY, FL, IA, WI, CA, OR, KS Keychains
    This example of the California key chain shows the first State Quarter of 2005 celebrating the man hailed as "The Greatest Californian," naturalist Leslie G. John Muir. All of the individual state quarters depict a similar historical or noteworthy event.

    11 New Commemorative Coins honoring the USMC, USAF, US Army and Navy, US Nat'l Guard, US Coast Guard and Freedom have been added. These are one troy ounce, fine silver coins. They features a U.S. Military picture or logo in relief against a mirror-like finish on the front. The reverse is a fully engravable surface.

    Gold Quarter Collections for 1999-2004. All the 2004 State Quarters are in this Collection: Michigan, Florida, Texas, Iowa and Wisconsin. These uncirculated quarters are double-plated with 24-karat gold, and put together with excerpts from the 2004 Collections.
  • Banker Theme eCards

    Someone headed back to school? Do you know a summer teller who's headed back to campus this month? We've got a couple of new ecards in our Back to School section you can use to wish them well (and maybe ask them back next year?)
