WASHINGTON—The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency will host workshops for directors of nationally chartered community banks and federal savings associations in Des Moines, Iowa at the Renaissance Des Moines Savery Hotel, May 22-23, 2012.

The workshops provide practical information that expands bank directors' skills and understanding of issues facing their banks. The workshops cover risk assessment (“Directors: Where is the Risk in Your Institution”) on May 22, and credit risk (“Credit Risk: A Director’s Focus”) on May 23.

Workshops will be held on consecutive days and cost $99 each. Individuals may register for one or both of the workshops. Attendees receive pre-course reading and course materials, an OCC telephone seminar CD, a director’s toolkit, other supervisory material, and a lunch.
