I also urge you to engage at a broader political level. No doubt the 2016 elections will have a big impact on our in- dustry. You can help shape the outcome of races by offering your time and talents to candidates, and by contributing to organizations like BankPAC and the Financial Education and Advocacy Initiative (FEAI), the 501(c)(4) that ABA set up in 2012 to provide another avenue for banker political participation. Your continued engagement and partnership with your trade associations is a difference-maker. Please give themall you’ve got. The banking industry’s future is in your hands. As for my future, I will leave ABA on Dec. 31 proud of having served a white-hat industry and grateful for the chance to have worked with the industry’s finest leaders.
