Events for CEOs

Newport Board Group Carolinas Partner, Laura Bingham, will be addressing the annual Assembly of Bank Directors of the North Carolina Bankers Association several times this Spring. On March 4th, she spoke about reputation capital, which is much different than the capital often discussed by bankers. On April 30th, she will be moderating a panel of the four top women bankers in North and South Carolina, during their Women in Banking conference. Laura will draw on her private and not-for-profit sector background to direct these discussions. The North Carolina Bankers Association provides educational and training programs, media relations, insurance benefits programs, regulatory and compliance assistance, and other services to its member financial institutions. It also operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Community Investment Corporation of the Carolinas, which provides long-term, low-cost financing for low to moderate income multi-family developments in the state.

Carolinas’ Partner Laura Bingham will facilitate a discussion, January 22, in Raleigh on Sheryl Sandberg's book Lean In, a #1 national best seller. Sandberg, COO of Facebook, uses personal anecdotes and research findings to make her case that “our revolution has stalled,” offering advice on how women can achieve their full potential. A TEDTalk in 2010 sparked the debate around Sandberg’s call for women to ‘lean in’ and ‘get rid of’ internal barriers which can work against success. In Lean In she asserts that there is a “leadership ambition gap” among women in the workplace that must be closed for power structures to change.
