Regulatory expectations and wise management demand a skill set that many bank directors lack. The SW Graduate School of Banking at SMU Cox National Certified Community Bank Director’s Program (NCCBD) is a comprehensive curriculum that addresses the foundations of bank directorship—from duties and responsibilities to board structures and processes.
NCCBD certification focuses on what makes boards and directors effective, as well as what is expected by regulators, examiners, and shareholders. Upon completion of the requirements, participants are awarded a certificate and can use the NCCBD designation.
