BENEFITS OF ASSOCIATE MEMBERSHIP
 
 

The Connecticut Bankers Association is the membership trade organization representing Connecticut banks and banking-related businesses. As such, we provide an industry voice in matters of common interest and concern to members, and serve their collective needs in areas where industry interests dictate a unified approach.

Our objective in offering Associate Membership is to permit the Association to better serve the myriad of businesses that comprise the evolving financial services marketplace. Members in the Association are kept apprised of legislative and regulatory developments affecting banks and other financial service companies, invited to educational programs, seminars and meetings sponsored by the Association and exposed to other businesses similarly interested in the goal of promoting and assisting the banking and financial service industry.

Promoting interaction among the different sectors that make up the financial service industry leads to the establishment of relationships and mutual cooperation that benefit us all.

ELIGIBILITY
The Bylaws provide for an Associate Member category, which is available to companies and organizations engaged in a financial business or having an interest in the banking industry sufficiently compatible with the philosophy and objectives of the Association and its members.
