NextGen Day at the Capitol
Wednesday, March 5 | Register
The Millbottom • 400 W. Main St. • Jefferson City
NextGen Day at the Capitol provides an opportunity for members of Next Generation in Banking to learn about and take part in Missouri’s legislative process by making a Target Banker visit to our state’s Capitol during the legislative session of the Missouri General Assembly. NextGen Day at the Capitol is a great opportunity to learn about banking advocacy and get to know your legislators along with your peers from around the state.
The Target Banker Program is MBA’s chief grassroots lobbying tool. As a Target Banker, you’ll be equipped with background information and talking points on a few key banking issues and then proceed to the Capitol to meet with your legislators, accompanied by MBA staff.
These low-key, low-pressure visits are very valuable. Legislators regularly hear from MBA’s government relations staff on issues important to the banking industry, but they prefer to hear directly from you, their constituents. They truly appreciate the effort you make to come to the Capitol during the session. The Target Banker program also helps provide a continuous banking presence at the Capitol throughout the session.
Agenda
The morning begins at The Millbottom with a briefing to familiarize you with MBA’s lobbying efforts and key banking bills. Handouts are provided to share with your lawmakers.
Afterward, we will walk to the Capitol to visit the state representatives and senators who represent you and your banks. Appointments are scheduled in advance by MBA staff. You are encouraged to observe the House and Senate at work and take in the artwork and history on display in the Capitol building.
We will return to The Millbottom for lunch and will hear from lawmakers and industry leaders on banking issues and the importance of being a banking advocate.

About NextGen Bankers
Next Generation in Banking (formerly known as Young Bankers Leadership Division) is designed for bankers who are interested in opportunities to further develop skills in leadership, advocacy and volunteerism. NextGen recently changed its name to better reflect MBA’s goal to attract a more diverse range of bank staff – from those new to the industry to those with many years of experience. Although the name is new, the mission for NextGen remains the same - to enhance and foster the development of Missouri’s next generation of banking professionals. Not a member? Join now!
