Committees & Peer Groups

The purpose of VBA committees is to provide input to the VBA on matters affecting the banking industry and the committee’s functional area of banking, provide input to VBA’s professional development division on training needs of their functional area, provide a forum for exchange of ideas and for networking that will benefit each committee member and his/her bank, and identify possible legislative and/or regulatory issues on which the VBA should focus as the banking industry’s advocate.

Retired Banking Executives

The VBA encourages retired banking executives to remain connected and engaged in the banking industry. The experience and expertise retired Virginia bankers bring to the Association allows for a meaningful way to serve the Association as well as providing a venue to network with other retirees and current members.
