NC Bank Directors College

The North Carolina Bank Directors College was established in 1998 to meet the ongoing need for well prepared bank directors as boards evolve through retirements, transitions, and the appointment of new members. Developed in collaboration with state and federal banking agencies, university faculty, and industry professionals, it was one of the first programs of its kind in the nation and remains valuable for directors at all experience levels.

Directors College equips directors to understand key banking issues and their fiduciary responsibilities to shareholders and the communities they serve. Many incoming directors bring strong business experience but limited banking background, yet they are responsible for shaping policy, making strategic decisions, and guiding the bank’s overall direction. This program strengthens their foundation for that critical work.

Participants receive approximately 20 hours of instruction through three virtual sessions and an in-person, three-day session in Chapel Hill. Directors College is designed for directors, executive officers, and those interested in serving on a financial institution’s board or leadership team.
