Dear Compliance Professional, Since BankersOnline.com was launched in late 2000, its goal has been to inform and educate bankers and provide an opportunity for banking professionals to network online. We're now carrying forward that mission beyond the Internet with the introduction of the BOL Conferences Lending Compliance Conference: The Daily Challenge, a real-world conference for bankers with responsibilities in the lending compliance area to be held October 21 - 23, 2008 at Bally's in Las Vegas, Nevada. Over the last several years, BOL users have learned from BankersOnline and from each other. While the online environment has been a user-friendly, efficient place to gain information, many of you have expressed a desire to network with other BOL users in person. We believe now is the right time for such an event and lending compliance is the right subject. You'll hear directly from experienced BOL Gurus who understand the challenges you're facing. Intensive. Practical. Hands on. Those are the hallmarks of this event. You won't want to miss it! Warm regards, Mary Beth Guard, Executive Editor BankersOnline.com
