WASHINGTON—The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) today announced its 2019 schedule of workshops for board directors and bank management of national community banks and federal savings associations.

The OCC examiner-led workshops provide practical training and guidance to directors of national community banks and federal savings associations to support the safe and sound operation of community-based financial institutions.

"These workshops help directors of community banks better understand their responsibilities and the risks facing their institutions, so they can continue to meet the financial needs of their communities," said Comptroller of the Currency Joseph M. Otting.

The OCC offers five workshops at a cost of $99 each:

• Building Blocks: Keys to Success for Directors and Senior Management

• Risk Governance: Improving Director Effectiveness

• Compliance Risk: What Directors Need to Know

• Credit Risk: Directors Can Make a Difference

• Operational Risk: Navigating Rapid Changes

The OCC offers the workshops nationwide to directors of national community banks and federal savings associations. Senior management and other key executives of national community banks and federal savings associations supervised by the OCC are also eligible to attend the Building Blocks workshop.

Workshops are limited to 35 participants. Attendees will receive course materials, supervisory publications, and lunch.
