Round Tables
Round Tables bring together small groups of senior bankers who have a common interest in a particular issue. Over the course of a day or two, these senior bankers explore continuing and emerging opportunities and issues in an environment that provides both formal and informal opportunities for sharing ideas. Attendance at these round tables is by invitation only to ensure common interest among the participants for each event.

However, RMA meets often with industry regulators to discuss issues of mutual concerns such as the impact of the slowing economy on bank portfolios.
