SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE  SeniorVicePresident’sMessage —continuedonpage10 A s bankers, you must excel in building relation- ships with your employees, your customers, and your communities in order to succeed. Leadership is what sets you apart! One of the association’s greatest endeavors in “Building Relationships Through Leadership” is the NBA’s Leadership Program. Now in its 17th year, the NBA’s Leadership Program has stood the test of time. “I am extremely grateful for the opportunities the NBA Leadership Program has offered me,” stated Kim Schroll, executive vice president of NebraskaLand National Bank in North Platte. “The knowledge I gained provided the confidence I needed to sustain a lifelong career in banking. I credit the NBA for the lasting friendships I havemade and the colleagues I have met. Both have been very beneficial for my bank and my career.” Schroll is a graduate of the Leadership Class of 1998 and currently serves on the NBA Board of Directors. Applications for the Class of 2016 are available now through the end of December and can be found at www.ne- bankers.org/index.php/about-nba/nba-leadership-program.
