This time of year often reminds us of the joys and sorrows we've experienced in the past and how important it is for each of us to remain grateful for our loved ones, for our friends and for our professional colleagues that we are blessed to have in our lives. I hope everyone has the opportunity to spend time with those that mean the most to you in the next few days. This is also the perfect time to say "thank you" to each of you for your involvement and steadfast support of the KBA. We are especially appreciative of the dozens and dozens of Kansas bankers that devote their time on KBA's board and numerous committees. That investment of time and leadership is the secret to KBA's long-standing success. Our staff team is proud of the accomplishments of the past year and we look forward with great optimism to working with you to achieve even greater heights for the KBA in the coming year. Happy Holidays and Cheers to a Successful 2020! Doug KBA President & CEO CHEERS TO A SUCCESSFUL 2020 2020 KANSAS AG BANKERS CONFERENCE Doug Wareham, KBA President and CEO
