I have been involved in compliance since 1981 for a small commercial bank in Southern NH and later for the mortgage subsidiary of a large commercial bank. In 1995, I was approached by the CEOs of three non-affiliated small community banks in New Hampshire to be a shared compliance administrator. Currently, there are five banks for whom I provide compliance oversight, training, and monitoring. The banks range in size from $85 million to $260 million in assets and are regulated by FDIC, OCC, and OTS. I publish a monthly newsletter for distribution throughout each bank to directors, officers, department heads. I have attended the ABA National Compliance School, National Graduate School of Compliance and the University of New Hampshire Training Seminar program. I hold designations as a CRCM and CRP (Certified Risk Professional [BAI]).
