Winning Communities Affiliations
Because Winning Communities conducts community planning throughout
Indiana, Illinois and the United States, it is involved with
or supported by several community development organizations,
including:
Community
Bankers Association of Illinois (CBAI) is the state's only
true advocate of community banking. Formed in 1974, CBAI has
weathered the changes in banking that have buffeted
Illinois
since then, emerging as a mature, full-service association for
today's community bankers. CBAI proudly represents nearly 500
Illinois
financial institutions and 160 associate members. The
Association creates money-saving opportunities for its members
and provides first-class educational seminars and schools.
Moreover, CBAI professionally lobbies for the
Illinois
community banker. CBAI formerly endorses the Winning Communities
program, encouraging its community banker members to get
involved in the community planning effort. You can learn more
about CBAI at www.cbai.com.
Association
of Indiana Counties: The Association of Indiana Counties,
Inc. is a nonprofit organization established in 1957
for the betterment of county government. The various functions
of the AIC include lobbying the Indiana General Assembly on
behalf of counties, serving as liaison among counties, state
and federal agencies as well as providing technical assistance
and training to county officials and employees. Winning Communities
is an associate member of the Association of Indiana Counties.

Indiana
Bankers Association:
The Indiana Bankers Association (IBA) was founded in 1897 and is
the largest and most comprehensive association of financial
institutions in the state. With subsequent mergers with the
Indiana League of Savings Institutions (2000) and the Community
Bankers Association of Indiana (2006), the IBA's mission is to
support its members' efforts to provide financial services to
the citizens of Indiana. Winning Communities is an associate
member of the IBA, which endorses the Certified Winning
Community program.
