— Josh Hogue, Immediate Past Chairman of ICBSD & ICBA Federal Delegate, CEO, Reliabank Dakota
As community bankers, we know that strong relationships are the foundation of everything we do—within our banks, with our customers, and across the industry. That’s why ICBSD’s Black Hills Retreat is such an important event. It’s an opportunity to step away from the daily grind, connect with peers, gain fresh insights, and enjoy time with family in one of South Dakota’s most beautiful settings.
Who Should Attend?
This retreat is for anyone in community banking—from frontline staff to executives. Whether you’re looking to sharpen your leadership skills, stay on top of industry trends, or simply build relationships with others who share your passion for local banking, you’ll find something valuable here.
It’s also a family-friendly event, which makes it even more special. Community banking is about people, and this retreat reflects that by creating an environment where both professional growth and personal connections thrive.
What to Expect
- Engaging Discussions: Learn from industry experts about the latest challenges and opportunities facing community banks.
- Networking Opportunities: Meet and exchange ideas with fellow bankers, vendors, and leaders in a relaxed setting.
- Time to Recharge: Enjoy the beauty of the Black Hills with your colleagues, friends, and family.
Why It Matters
Our industry is always evolving, and staying connected—both with each other and with the issues shaping community banking—is more important than ever. The Black Hills Retreat gives us the chance to step back, refocus, and return to our banks with fresh ideas and a renewed sense of purpose.
I encourage you to join us at Cadillac Jack’s Gaming Resort in Deadwood for this year’s retreat. Full details, including dates and registration, are available here.
I look forward to seeing you there!
