Our guest on this episode of The Bolder Banking Podcast is Chris Hodges, Senior Vice President at Arvest Bank.

Each new student who enrolls at GSBC is assigned to a peer group with nine fellow new students. With two virtual meetings before arriving on campus, the relationship building among students is accelerated, better preparing students to excel in the Annual School Session.

One of GSBC’s intersession projects is completed by members of each peer group. This project is an opportunity for collaboration and peer learning.

The topic chosen by Chris and his peer group was Succession Planning.

In this episode, Chris shares what he and his peers feel are the various facets critical to future-proofing the banking industry, including technological integration, regulatory challenges, and internal succession.
