Committee
Functions and Operations Guidelines
The SDBA has several
standing committees that assist in directing Association
activities in various areas of banking, education and
legislation. Volunteer committee members contribute to a
stronger banking industry by sharing their time and talents.
Committee terms are one year
beginning May 1 and ending April 30 of each year, with the
exception of Legislative Committee members who serve
three-year terms. Committees generally meet one to two times a
year to initiate activities and to recommend policy. You do
have the option of serving more than one term on these
standing committees (except the Legislative Committee) and
will receive a notice each spring to determine your continued
interest.
