Dear Colleague,

As Chairman of the ABA Stonier Advisory Board and a career banker, I feel immense pride to be associated with the ABA Stonier Graduate School of Banking. The Stonier program has been carefully crafted to prepare our industry’s rising stars to lead their organizations through the myriad business and regulatory challenges they will undoubtedly face.

Developing leadership skills is a crucial component of Stonier, and through our partnership with the Wharton School, the

curriculum includes Leadership classes seamlessly integrated into our program and delivered by members of the renowned

Wharton faculty. Additionally, Stonier graduates earn both a Stonier Diploma and a Wharton Leadership Certificate.

In our 2012 session, we hosted the largest student body in over two decades. It was inspiring to witness the incredible enthusiasm and high level of engagement throughout the entire student body—representing banks, regulatory agencies and bank industry providers, nationally and internationally.

Course work between Years 1 and 2 includes written assignments in the areas of bank performance, economics and marketing. A high-impact Capstone Strategic Project between Years 2 and 3 provides a unique opportunity to further your development while undertaking a project of significant potential value to your organization.

Year 1 Launching Your Leadership ExperienceThe first-year curriculum focuses on key aspects of strategy, planning, marketing and performance measurement. It provides an overview of the current economic and financial environment and its implications for achieving competitive advantage. You will gain an enhanced appreciation of the drivers of success, and learn how to leverage your organization’s competitive strengths.

“The Stonier faculty are experienced, industry-leading professionals that understand the prevailing issues to community banks and the curriculum is interactive, dynamic and really challenges participants to develop and strengthen their knowledge well beyond their functional role within their banking organization.”

— Lynn A. Motta Vice President, Commercial Services Division, BankFive Fairhaven, Massachusetts

Year 2 Applying Leadership Skills to Team Performance and Risk ManagementThe core of the second-year curriculum focuses on strategies for enhancing shareholder value and risk management.

You will assimilate the factors that affect the profitability and value of your organization, and learn to apply risk management tools and techniques in a way that can be a source of competitive advantage and value creation.

In addition, you will participate in an innovative bank management computer simulation, ABA BankExec™, making key decisions on product pricing, risk management, investments, asset sales and treasury management in a competitive “tournament” with fellow students.

The operating environment mimics the dynamics of the real-world banking market and you will gain quick feedback on how your decisions affect your relative performance. You will also be able to choose from an extensive menu of elective courses to round out your curriculum.
