Policy Resolutions

These resolutions, approved by the ICBA Policy Development Committee and the Board of Directors, broadly describe ICBA's major policy objectives.

Helping community banks flourish

The resolutions provide policy guidance for ICBA officers, staff, standing committees, the Federal Delegate Board, councils, and task forces, ensuring a consistent and strategic approach to advocacy.

These resolutions reflect ICBA's core principles: Community banks support fair competition in financial services; support the separation of banking and commerce; believe in a balanced financial system that does not favor any segment of the financial services sector; support the dual banking system; and oppose the concentration of economic and financial services resources.

Aligned with ICBA’s Repair, Reform, and Thrive plan, these resolutions also aim to modernize regulations, promote equitable economic growth, and empower community banks to serve their customers and communities effectively.
