I am very pleased to be back with the Bank Operations Institute classes for 1998. I always enjoy spending time during the roundtable discussions, but I am particularly honored today to be the Keynote Speaker for this year's graduation.
Education is so important in any aspect of our lives, and perhaps even more so in our workplace.
Banking is undergoing changes that are so rapid, that no one can assume that he or she knows everything that there is to know. New products and services are coming on line every day. That is why educational opportunities like BOI are so critical to the banking industry. There is almost no other way to keep up than to keep current through education. Education also stimulates our creativity.
