You must be an employee of a VBA member bank to join. Each of the six regions of the EBL holds at least two events per year, which are focused on education or networking with your peers. The EBL newsletter is sent bimonthly and contains EBL event recaps and other upcoming engagement opportunities, details on the annual VBA Leadership Conference and EBL member news.
