Register for OBA Virtual Washington Visit
Join fellow bankers and industry leaders from across the South Central United States for a virtual meeting with agency leadership and lawmakers.
The OBA has partnered with the ABA and other state bankers associations for the South Central Regional Virtual Washington Visit, which is scheduled for Sept. 21-24. This year’s Washington Visit will ensure policies crucial to the banking industry remain front and center and provide a forum for critical questions from your bank.
The Virtual Washington Visit is FREE, other than the cost of your time, and we are hoping to have the greatest number of bankers registered in OBA Washington Visit history.
In addition to the meetings with the regulatory agencies, the OBA will also host meetings with the Oklahoma congressional delegation. The schedule is subject to change but the current list of events is below.
You must be registered to receive the virtual meeting invitations/login information. Two simple steps to register:
1) Click here to register through the ABA.
- This is to receive meeting information for the agency briefings.
- Please note: This is open to all bankers, ABA members and non-members.
