2021 Summer CEO Dinner

NYLIB hosted an in-person dinner on August 18, 2021, at the Avra Madison restaurant that was attended by a number of our banking friends. Although there was not a set program, the conversation followed the lines of what’s next for the economy, the challenges posed by courts and legal processes in New York State to collection efforts, the state of the commercial real estate market in the tri-state area, the various approaches taken to return to the office/work from home, and the challenges and opportunities presented by the continued consolidation in the community banking industry. In compliance with NYC requirements for restaurants, all participants were vaccinated. 

Participants had the opportunity to reconnect with folks in the industry and to meet and get to know banking executives whom they had not met before. The feedback from the bank executives that attended was uniformly positive.

We at NYLIB view these meetings as an opportunity to bring people together to explore key issues of importance to members and to the industry in general. The organization’s mission is to provide a forum for networking and education, and, when appropriate, it seeks to advance members’ collective interests through discussions with regulators and comment letters. 

We expect to have additional meetings and events as the year progresses and will provide notice to our members and friends as plans develop. We are open to any suggestions on topics or issues that are of interest to the community and foreign banks in the tri-state area.
