For financial advisors looking for more opportunities for growth and independence, we provide the training and support to meet you where you are and help you take your business to the next level. We know there is a difference between banking with the giant regional and national banks and community financial institutions.

Ever wonder how advocacy shapes the future of community banks? Tune in to the latest episode of "Banking on Growth" as we welcome Chris Furlow, President and CEO of the Texas Bankers Association. As the leader of the oldest and largest state banking association in the U.S., Chris brings decades of experience and invaluable insights into the challenges and opportunities facing community banks today. In this episode, Chris dives deep into the pivotal role of advocacy in the banking sector and how the Texas Bankers Association (TBA) is spearheading efforts to create a healthier business environment for its member banks and the communities they serve. From tackling complex regulations to proposing new policies that empower financial institutions, the TBA is more than just a voice for the industry—it’s a driving force for meaningful change. Chris also unpacks how the shifting economic landscape—including the pandemic, inflation, and rising interest rates—has impacted community banks. With thousands of new regulations emerging, navigating this terrain is no easy feat. However, Chris shares how the TBA is working tirelessly to reduce unnecessary hurdles, allowing community banks to continue supporting families, small businesses, and local economies. Ready to learn how the TBA is ensuring the vitality of community banking?
