The CBA is a non-profit organization dedicated to serving community banks throughout Georgia enhance their profitability and growth.

The CBA represents 165 community banks and nearly 200 associate member companies, offering services in four areas — political affairs, education, products & services and networking.

Board members, elected to one-year terms, are selected from 10 divisions across the state of Georgia, ensuring all Georgia community banks are equally represented. During the the year, directors will be involved in a number of items on behalf of the CBA membership.

“Our Association continues to thrive due to the efforts and guidance provided by the community bank leaders that comprise our Board,” Rob Braswell, President & CEO of the Community Bankers Association of Georgia, said. “The varied experience each Board Member brings to the table is an invaluable asset to our Association, and serves to strengthen the community banking industry in Georgia.”
