SW Graduate School of Banking Community Bank Director’s Program Set for October 21–23

October 3, 2024

The SW Graduate School of Banking (SWGSB) at Southern Methodist University (SMU) is registering participants for its National Certified Community Bank Director’s (NCCBD) Program, October 21–23 on the SMU campus. Regulatory expectations and wise management often demand a skill set that many bank directors are eager to enhance. NCCBD is a comprehensive curriculum that addresses the foundations of bank directorship—from duties and responsibilities to board structures and processes.

With regulators now requiring a full range of banking knowledge, SWGSB delivers programs of national interest, tailored to director duties and responsibilities. The program qualifies as one of two requirements needed to attain the community bank director’s certification. NCCBD certification focuses on what makes boards and directors effective, as well as what is expected by regulators, examiners and shareholders. Upon completion of the requirements, participants are awarded a certificate and can use the NCCBD designation.

Requirements for the NCCBD certification:

  • Attend a three-day Level 1 NCCBD program presented by SWGSB at SMU Cox.
  • Attend a three-day Level 2 NCCBD program presented by SWGSB at SMU Cox or an SWGSB Assembly for Bank Directors program.

To maintain the NCCBD designation, directors must attend at least one Assembly for Bank Directors every three years.

“As banks respond to recent failures, it underscores the critical need for ongoing training for bankers and community bank directors,” says T. Gary Hudson, former president and CEO and current board member of The Farmers & Merchants Bank of Stuttgart, Arkansas, and a SWGSB trustee. “Our bank has turned to SWGSB’s Certified Community Bank Director’s Program and Assemblies for Bank Directors as a way to retain and grow the skills necessary to operate today’s community banks.”

Merrill J. Reynolds Jr., managing director of SWGSB’s NCCBD Program and curriculum coordinator for the SWGSB Assemblies for Bank Directors, is a national authority on banking. A banking veteran with more than 40 years of experience, he has worked for both community and multibank holding companies in various lending and managerial capacities. Reynolds is currently participating on a national task force on bank director mitigation of personal liability and reputational risk. In addition to Reynolds and William T. Chittenden Ph.D., SWGSB president and CEO, the upcoming NCCBD Program includes the following nationally respected speakers:

  • Sanford M. Brown, partner, Alston & Bird;
  • Matthew Earl, principal, Reynolds Williams Group;
  • Leah Hamilton, director, Forvis;
  • J. Keith Hughey, founder, J. Keith Hughey Co.;
  • Josh McNulty, partner, Hunton Andrews Kurth;
  • Tanya Miller, president and chief risk officer, PrimeBank of Texas;
  • Mikella Newsom, senior vice president and chief risk officer, City Bank;
  • Jimmy Sawyers, chairman, Sawyers & Jacobs LLC;
  • Dale S. Sheller, senior vice president, Baker Group LP;
  • Philip K. Smith, chairman and CEO, Gerrish Smith Tuck PC; and
  • Jamie Sumner, chief analyst, Seifried & Brew LLC
