REGISTRATIONS FOR STONIER BANKING SCHOOL HIT 20-YR HIGH
ABA Stonier Graduate School of Banking sees surge in
registrations for executive-level bank training
WASHINGTON
— Registrations to attend the ABA Stonier Graduate School of Banking have
reached the highest level in 20 years, according to the American Bankers
Association, which runs the school in Philadelphia in partnership with the
University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School.
The Wharton School is ranked as the nation’s number one business school
in the U.S. by The Wall Street Journal.
“We are thrilled that bankers are recognizing the
unequaled value of a Stonier education in preparing the future leaders of our
industry,” said Luis Lobo, chairman of Stonier’s advisory board and executive
vice president of BB&T Corp. in Winston-Salem, N.C. “This surge in registrations is clearly the
result of our two-year-old partnership with Wharton. It’s also a sign that the banking industry is
emerging from the financial crisis and is ready to start investing again in the
training of its brightest leaders.”
Registrations
are at the highest level since 1992 and a 25 percent increase from the worst
point of the financial crisis in 2008.
The ABA
Stonier Graduate School of Banking trains the future leaders of the industry;
most students hold the titles of vice president or senior vice president.
Twenty percent are executive vice presidents, chairmen, or CEO’s. In addition,
many represent federal regulatory agencies or firms serving the industry. All
are considered rising stars in their organizations and represent more than 45
states and 18 foreign countries. In the past 75 years, Stonier has trained more
than 20,000 of the nation’s top banking executives and government regulators,
many of whom have reached the pinnacle of their organizations.
This
year’s keynote speaker is John Allison,
former chairman and CEO of BB&T Corp. Allison was recognized by the Harvard
Business Review as one of the world’s top 100 CEO’s of the last 10 years.
Stonier faculty members include Wharton’s Mario Moussa, PhD, MBA, who also serves
as Stonier’s Wharton academic director. New faculty members this year include:
· Jo Ann S. Barefoot, Co-Chair, Treliant Risk Advisors, former U.S.
Deputy Comptroller of the Currency
· Mark W. Olson, Co-Chair, Treliant Risk Advisors, former
member of Federal Reserve Board of Governors
