We also covered credit, interstate rates, prepayment, and sales benefits and risks. Ed also discussed the "potato slide" and various options for community banks and a view to practical commercial applications. A copy of his presentation can be downloaded here.

What a great year 2014-2015 has been! We spent 2014 celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the Risk Management Association; and locally we worked hard to deliver value to our members through our programs and education events. We believe we provided a forum for all of our members to network with likeminded peers committed to sound risk principles in our industry. RMA National Headquarters recognized our commitment to our members by awarding us the Silver Status for our Chapter; we could not have achieved that award without all of you, so thanks! I’d like to recognize our corporate sponsors for the 2014-2015 year: Paynet, Georgia Primary Bank, Alvarez & Marsal and GLE Associates.
