Commercial Lending Academy

The MN Chapter, Risk Management Association made the tough decision not to host a Commercial Lending Academy in 2021. Based on the results from a recent survey asking about an in-person, virtual or a hybrid delivery format, it was determined it would not be logistically feasible to predict possible attendance while planning for the necessary safety precautions and providing the high quality learning experience our members have come to expect during the uncertainty of the pandemic environment. We look forward to resuming CLA in 2022.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at info@rma-mn.org.

Take care.
