Banker Day was a success! Thank you to the bankers who took time out of their busy week to listen and critique our business proposals!
- Billie Bernius, State Bank of Arthur (Hometown Community Banks)
- Claude Wilson, TrustBank, Tuscola
- Fredy Moreno, First Bank of Arcola, Tuscola, Arthur
- Dale Boyer, First Bank of Arcola, Tuscola, Arthur
All of our CEO entrepreneurs were prepared with their written business proposals, and presented their business plan to two bankers. The bankers gave us encouragement, advice, critiques, and ideas! All were welcome!
Now, we will consider what we learned this morning, and appropriately revise our plans before sending on the final business proposals to the CEO Board. The Board will evaluate our plans, the recommendations of the bankers and our facilitator, as they consider granting our funding requests.
Once the Board awards the funding grants, we can actually get these businesses off of the ground! It's getting real!
