Thank you @wisbank staff & membership. Tomorrow is my last day before I start as Culver’s Director of Public Relations and Communications. The WBA has been fantastic and I’ve loved helping WI’s banks in their mission of serving their communities. It’s been an honor.

A huge thanks to Matt Feldman for all the great work he has done. And, congratulations to Michael Ericson on his upcoming role. Read the article for a look at the big changes coming soon to @FHLBC

Fortunately we completed finishing our basement just before "Safer at Home" began. This is my new office space. And, no, this doesn't fool my wife and kids. They can still find me. #quarantinelife #homeoffice

Great article on what's happening with PPP loans in Wisconsin. Bankers are working hard to help their communities. @bandereggmke biztimes.com/state-bankers-a…
This is great, timely info from @wisbank.
Wondering how @SBAgov PPP loans work? Here's an overview of the situation. You can learn more by visiting wisbank.com/COVID-19
I would totally pull an April Fool's Day prank on my kids... but there's nowhere for me to run and hide afterward. #QuarantineLife
People are worried about a lot of things right now. Access to your money in the bank isn't one of them. Safe. Sound. Secure. #bankspowerwi @wisbank
Forget the mattress! Keeping large sums of cash at home is risky. The best place to protect your money is in an FDIC-insured bank where it’s safe and sound. Learn how the FDIC safeguards your #money at FDIC.gov/deposit
Safe, sound, secure. #COVIDー19 is causing enough concerns. Access to your money isn't one of them when your money is in a bank.
Even during Safer at Home restrictions, your money will always be there for you. WI’s banks pay for deposit insurance to keep your cash safe. Many institutions have robust web or mobile systems allowing access to funds & many branches remain open for drive-thru service

Wisconsin's bankers stand ready to serve their customers whether it’s through in-person, by appointment or self-banking services. This is a very cool tool to keep the public updated on what's happening at their local banks.
We created interactive maps of bank lobbies & drive-thrus in WI that are currently available to customers. This tool is intended to give consumers an idea of how services are being offered in their area, understanding that all banks are open for business: wisbank.com/resources/corona…

We are all in this together. Your local bank is a great resource during these challenging times. Be sure to reach out to them!
Wisconsin’s banks are dedicated to serving their communities and ensuring all consumers have access to financial services. In this time of uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, consumers should know their banks stand ready to serve their customers. buff.ly/3b1c1ye
This is a great resource for Wisconsin banks regarding the coronavirus. If you are a banker, take a quick look.
WBA has created a coronavirus resource page for member banks to access important information and tools, including updates from the CDC, bank regulatory information, and a template email for HR to send to bank employees. Check it out: buff.ly/2TuwioO
Today is the big day! Our first class will be in to check out the new digs.
Our office remodel project reaches a big milestone on Feb. 17: the first WBA member guests arrive! 35 bankers will cross the threshold of the new Engagement Center for the Residential Mortgage Lending School, the first of dozens of events already scheduled buff.ly/2OSEzkQ

Do you know who has a pulse on Wisconsin's ag economy? If you guessed, ag bankers, you'd be right. Check out the survey.
