Treasury Management Forum (Indiana Bankers Association)

The Indiana Bankers Association hosts Treasury Management Forums, aimed at enhancing your professional development and the future prosperity of your bank. Led by Marcia Malzahn (Malzahn Strategic), this forum allows Treasury Management (TM) Officers, as well as other team members involved in the selling, supporting, or marketing of TM products and services to business customers, to openly share ideas, analyze challenges, and converse on pertinent issues with their TM peers. Participants are grouped according to their bank’s size and market, ensuring similarities in experiences and concerns. These groups convene thrice a year, and the membership size is kept to a manageable number to encourage meaningful dialogue and interaction.
