Loan Officer Resident Seminar - LORS
April 22 – April 27, 2012
The Exeter Inn, Exeter, NH
For over 35 years, synonymous with quality bank training at reasonable cost.
Objective of the Seminar
For over 35 years, LORS has served as a resource for RMA Banks throughout New England by providing Commercial Lending training to bank Credit Analysts and Junior Commercial Lending Officers.
The seminar teaches fundamental credit skills and practical lending techniques using daily seminars in conjunction with related case studies. The week concludes with the popular "Mock Loan Committee," where students apply what they have learned to a presentation in front of seasoned credit and lending professionals. Each instructor during the week is either an experienced lender or credit professional from an RMA member bank or a recognized expert in their field. Based on feedback from previous classes and in recognition of changing trends in the industry, the program is constantly updated to fit the needs of the next generation of commercial lenders.
Early enrollment is encouraged, as class sizes are limited to provide a better opportunity for one-on-one instruction and to share thoughts and opinions in a team building environment. For more information, contact Julie Conroy at 978-263-9003 or email at Julie@rmanewengland.org.
RMANE would like to support its members by offering discounts to banks that send multiple participants to LORS this spring. We recognize the value of this week-long credit training and encourage participation, despite budget constraints. Pay full tuition for the first student, and additional students will enjoy a 20% discount.
Who Should Attend?
The Loan Officer Resident Seminar is designed for credit analysts, junior commercial lending officers, or credit professionals who have the expectation of being in that position in the near future. Participants should have at least one year of experience in commercial lending or commercial credit administration, and should have a basic understanding of commercial lending and financial statement analysis. This can also serve as a great intro/refresher for Business Development Officers looking to expand their skills to include Commercial Loans. The LORS program is an excellent continuation of RMA New England’s Commercial Credit Analysis program offered in the Fall.
The Curriculum
The LORS curriculum has been organized around daily focus topics: "The Current Banking Environment," “Fundamental Credit Analysis," “Loan Documentation,” “Credit Structuring,” “Cash Flow and Breakeven Analysis,” “Due Diligence and Early Warnings”, and "Loan Committee Presentations” among others.
