Advocacy

A key component of MIB is the monitoring and influencing of government on behalf of Montana’s community banks. While we work hard to lobby our state and national representatives, we also need your voice to call out bad legislation and encourage regulations that support and protect community banking. Here you can read MIB and ICBA’s advocacy on your behalf, and learn of opportunities for your voice to be heard.
