Praise for Community Banking Strategies. "In Community Banking Strategies, Vince Boberski not only gives unique and penetrating insights into the triggering events that caused the 'Great Recession' of 2008-2010, but also outlines effective and powerful forward-thinking strategies for community bankers to adopt as they cope with the new financial and market realities that lie ahead. This book is a must-read for any community banker wanting to take advantage of a generational shift in the financial markets and position the bank to thrive in future years."--Camden R.
