Tradition of Excellence
The SWGSB Foundation has
been the first name in banking education for 50 years.
More than 25,000 financial services professionals have

senior ranks of financial institutions, regulatory
agencies, and industry associations throughout the U.S.
and abroad. Partnered with
Southern
Methodist University’s renowned

conducts educational programs year round. The senior
staff has over 50 years of experience designing,
marketing, and orchestrating national seminars for the
