Guru Central
Meet our gurus!
Some of the top banking industry experts are BOL Gurus. Their bios are found down below on this page. Many of the professionals who lend their time and talents to provide responses to our Guru Q&As also speak frequently at conferences, have developed products, and offer a variety of services. Look for CD ROMs of webinars, training videos, books, and other helpful resources by some of our gurus in our Banker Store.
Ask a Guru
Submit a question to the BOL Gurus.
Each week, in each of our five main content sections on BankersOnline.com, we feature questions submitted by BOL users and answers written by BOL Gurus. Past Q&As are archived on the site and can be accessed through the search feature or via the subject matter index of articles and Q&As that appears in the left sidebar or each content section. Use the "Submit a question to the BOL Gurus" link above to submit a question of your own.
Need a Speaker?
If you're looking for someone to provide in-house training, teach a seminar, or speak at your next conference, we can help! We're familiar with the topics our Gurus speak on and would be happy to transmit your inquiry to those who would be well-suited for the topic.
Contact us and tell us the topic, length of presentation, location, date, and any other pertinent facts. We'll take it from there.
