ABA requests vote from ABA member bank CEOs

The ABA is requesting a vote from ABA member bank CEOs that would make a board-approved change to their articles of incorporation that will allow ABA to play a greater role in helping banks and the communities they serve recover from major disasters. They are seeking this change after consulting with state associations that have played an active role in helping their communities and bankers recover after recent natural disasters.
