Stuart B. Allen, JD, CTFA

"I love receiving Friday Five every week. I know it takes time to push them out. The content is perfect."

Clint Stein
CEO
Umpqua Bank

"OBA peer groups were a vital part of my entry into the banking industry, serving as a catalyst to accelerate my education. The relationships I established with other bankers through OBA's peer groups have endured for nearly 25 years. I still lean into this network of bankers frequently."

Caitlynn Bailey

"The knowledge I’ve gleaned through OBA’s education opportunities has proven invaluable for my banking career. Even more beneficial are the relationships built with fellow bankers across the northwest. These relationships and education opportunities have helped me take on new roles within my organization."

Take the Next Step

Become an industry advocate.

Grassroots involvement is a very powerful force in politics. A message delivered by a knowledgeable constituent can go a long way in persuading an elected official to vote for or against a particular issue. OBA recognizes this reality and utilizes its grassroots program to strengthen our industry’s advocacy efforts.

Bankers Day at the Oregon Capitol

Every other year, coinciding with the full Oregon Legislative Session, Oregon bankers from across the state gather for a day at the Capitol in Salem to engage in a dialogue with lawmakers about the important leadership and service roles Oregon banks play in their local communities, as well as the current policy issues facing the financial services industry.

The next Bankers Day open to all bankers will be held in 2025.
