KBA Honors those who have dedicated 50 years or more to the Kansas Banking Industry

One of the great strengths of the banking industry in Kansas is the fact that many of our banks have remained under the leadership of the same family for many, many years. To recognize those families, the KBA created a special award – “A Century of Family Banking” – to be given to those banks where members of the same family have held leadership positions in their bank for a century or more.

After having the Forum/Annual Meeting virtually in 2020, a near-record number of bankers and their guests joined the KBA staff for our 37th year at the beautiful Broadmoor resort in Colorado Springs for the 2021 KBA CEO Forum and Annual Meeting. This was KBA’s first in-person event in over a year due to the pandemic.
