Partner featured on ‘The Slant’ podcast

BCLP Partner Jim McAlpin was featured on Sept. 12 on Bank Director’s ‘The Slant’ podcast. Jim was interviewed ahead of Bank Director’s Bank Board Training Forum, where he spoke about the practices that build stronger boards and weighed in on the results of the 2022 Governance Best Practices Survey, which is sponsored by BCLP. In the podcast, Jim shared his stories from bank boardrooms, his views on corporate culture and M&A, and why he’s optimistic about the state of the industry. “This is a good time to be in banking,” he said. “It’s harder to get an M&A deal done this year. So, I think it’s caused a lot of people to step back and say, ‘OK, what are we going to do over the next few years to improve the profitability of our bank, to grow our bank, to promote organic growth?’. … [That’s] the subject of a lot of focus within bank boardrooms.”
