2026 Executive Development Program
​Portland, Oregon

Download Brochure
REGISTER
The Executive Development Program (EDP) is an intensive, year-long program designed to cultivate the next generation of bank leaders. Sessions are led by seasoned professional instructors with years of industry insights and experience who help participants acquire the strategic, financial and communication skills required of successful leaders in today's financial institutions. Homework is required between sessions, and each participant works with a mentor from their bank, adding a unique dimension to the program.

EDP also provides a special one-on-one mentorship program – pairing student participants with executives from their institutions. Mentorship is vital to student success and offers bank executives an opportunity to be directly involved in the development of future bank leaders.

Mentors support their mentee on a monthly basis by reinforcing the classroom learning experience, making introductions to key executives within the bank and pairing students with business experts for assistance in their homework preparation.

Who should attend?

​​

This program is designed for bankers who are self-starters and want to proactively direct their own careers. Group study exercises and activities promote a team learning environment where the focus is more than just on the individual but on the ‘we’ as a team, where everyone works together to achieve a common goal. This executive level program appeals to critical thinkers who want to challenge their understanding of the banking industry and who are eager to learn and share their newly discovered knowledge in better serving their organizations.
