Return to News Releases
May 10, 2010: Thomas A. Borner, Chairman and CEO of Putnam Bank participated in two days of congressional visits as part of the Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) Washington Policy Summit, which was held April 26-28 in the nation’s capital.
“Personal contact with lawmakers is the most effective way to educate them about the issues facing community banks, our customers and our local community, which we so proudly serve each and every day,” said Tom Borner. “It’s vital for the communities we serve to have our voice heard in Washington during such a historic time for the banking industry.”
Each year, the ICBA Washington Policy Summit brings community bankers from across the country to Washington to meet with their federal legislators and discuss a wide range of legislative issues that affect community banking. This year, the nearly 1,000 attendees heard from Senate Banking Committee ranking member Richard Shelby (R-Ala.) and other key policymakers, advocating for fair and meaningful financial regulatory reform that ends too-big-to-fail and levels the competitive playing field between Wall Street and Main Street.
