As a GSB alumnus, I recently attended the Financial Managers School. It was an excellent complement to GSB. The financial challenges of running a bank as well as the challenge in finding out ways to fund banks at a reasonable cost are increasing. The Financial Managers School allowed me to take away some new ideas that will help our bank better in the future.
