Congratulations to the 2026 graduating class of the IBA Commercial Lending School, which took place June 1-5 at the Indiana Bankers Association Center for Professional Development in Indianapolis.
This annual, week-long training prepares mid-level bankers and commercial loan officers to serve effectively and profitably by developing an understanding of the bank’s risk appetite, risk tolerance, risk culture and the risks assumed in the loan portfolio.
