COBB LIFE for December 3rd Publish Date:  November 29th Henssler :15 INTRODUCTION From the Henssler Financial Studio, welcome to Cobb Life, proudly brought to you by the Marietta Daily Journal. I'm your host, Keith Ippolito, waving the flag for the BG Ad Group. And a big shoutout to our show's sponsor, Credit Union of Georgia, for making it all happen. Today, I had the pleasure of chatting with David Caroll, the news anchor for Local 3 News in Chattanooga. You might recognize David from his regular column in the MDJ, where he shares humorous columns. David and I delved into his latest book release, 'I Won't Be Your Escape Goat,' a compilation of misspellings, misinterpretations, and mishaps he's encountered throughout his career. These gaffes seem never-ending, whether attributed to voice-to-text technology, spellcheck mishaps, or simply not paying attention during English class. Regardless of their origins, these social media blunders serve as a humorous source of amusement. I think we all can agree on one thing: the world could use a bit more laughter. Additionally, I had the pleasure of exploring David's 'Hail to the Chief' column. We discussed its inspiration and David's personal Mt. Rushmore of presidents. So, sit back, unwind—it's Sunday—and let's immerse ourselves in the essence of Cobb Life. BREAK: ESOG – CU of GA ***DAVID CAROLL 1*** BREAK: CHRISTMAS PIEDMONT – DRAKE ***DAVID CAROLL 2*** BREAK: INGLES 7 – HENSSLER :60 Signoff: And there you have it, another fantastic episode of Cobb Life in the books.

Make sure to pencil in every Sunday on your calendar because we've got more great conversations from Cobb County coming your way. So, I'm your host, Keith Ippolito, proudly waving the BG Ad Group banner.

The video, available online, provides insights into the preparation of recipes served in CCSD cafeterias. Emmett's efforts to introduce diverse flavors and meals have garnered recognition and praise, showcasing the commitment of the School Nutrition team to offer nutritious and appealing meals to students. STORY 2: Northside Hospital Launches Cancer Second Opinion Program Northside Hospital Cancer Institute has introduced a Cancer Second Opinion Program to provide patients with a swift evaluation of cancer care and treatment options.

Around 200 soldiers from the 108th have been activated from the unit's armories in Calhoun, Dalton, Cedartown, and Canton. The soldiers will undergo pre-deployment training at Fort Stewart, Texas, and Germany before arriving in Kosovo as part of the NATO Kosovo Force (KFOR) for a peacekeeping mission. The deployment is expected to last around eight months. A sendoff ceremony will be held on January 2, 2024, at the Calhoun campus of Georgia Northwestern Technical College. STORY 5: Apartment Complex Under Construction in Canton Madison Communities has begun construction on Madison Canton, a 252-unit apartment complex located near downtown Canton, Georgia. Situated at the intersection of Marietta Road and Jackie Moore Lane, the complex will feature a variety of amenities, including a clubhouse, fitness center, cyber lounge, and workspaces. Outdoor amenities include a pool and deck with grilling stations, a dog park, a dog wash, and pickleball courts.

The first units are expected to be complete in the second quarter of 2025.   Commercial: CHEROKEE CHAMBER - INGLES 9   STORY 6: Republican-Drawn Legislative Maps Come Under Fire The Georgia General Assembly's special redistricting session commenced with Democrats and watchdog groups criticizing Republican-backed proposed maps for the state House and Senate, claiming they are unfair to Black voters. Both maps aim to comply with a federal court ruling that declared previous maps violated the Voting Rights Act. Democrats argue that the proposed maps make unnecessary changes beyond the court order, while they have released an alternative map focusing on the specific districts identified in the court ruling. Critics also highlight extensive redrawing and incumbent pairings in the Republican-backed maps for partisan reasons. STORY 7: State Senate study committee recommends repealing CON law A committee in Georgia, comprising lawmakers, healthcare executives, and an insurance industry representative, has recommended repealing the state law governing hospital construction and medical services. The Senate Study Committee on Certificate of Need (CON) Reform believes that the decades-old CON law is hindering advances in healthcare delivery, especially in rural Georgia. The CON law, enacted in 1979 to reduce healthcare costs by avoiding duplication, requires applicants to demonstrate the need for a new medical facility or service in a community. The committee's recommendation for repeal or reform will now be considered by the full Senate during the 2024 legislative session. We'll have closing comments after this.  COMMERCIAL: Henssler 60  SIGN OFF –   Thanks again for listening to today's Cherokee Tribune Ledger podcast. .

Frison faces charges of murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime. The shooting took place on September 13, resulting in the death of a 49-year-old individual. Frison was apprehended by Cobb Police on November 25, then transferred to Atlanta police custody and subsequently to the Fulton County Sheriff's custody on November 27. Frison had previous charges for drug possession and other offenses in Cobb County. STORY 2: UPDATE: Grand Jury Declined to Bring Charges in Police Shooting of Austell Man Last year, a Cobb grand jury decided not to charge a Cobb police officer, Ian McConnell, in the shooting death of 28-year-old Devonte Brown. Brown was killed on August 18, 2021, after a car chase involving a stolen vehicle. The grand jury's decision was revealed after Brown's lawyers released body camera footage of the incident. The footage shows Officer McConnell firing 12 shots into Brown's vehicle after it collided with police cars. Brown's family and their attorney, Harry Daniels, condemned the shooting, claiming Brown was not a threat. Daniels plans to file a civil rights violation lawsuit and explore a wrongful death lawsuit. STORY 3: Cobb Commission Approves 11 New Mental Health First Responder Positions The Cobb Board of Commissioners has unanimously approved 11 new first responder positions as part of the Cobb Co-Responder Program, a collaboration between the Cobb Department of Public Safety and Highland Rivers Behavioral Health. This program aims to enhance the county's response to mental health emergencies by partnering police and fire personnel with case managers and clinicians to deescalate crises. The approved positions include two police officers, six sheriff's deputies, and three Cobb fire staff positions. These additions align with existing mental health programs within the Cobb Police Department and Cobb Fire and Emergency Services. The goal is to address mental health issues effectively and prevent unnecessary incarcerations. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

Tribridge Residential, the owner, collaborated with interior designer Savannah Etzel to upgrade amenity spaces, expand the fitness center, and enhance the pool and outdoor areas. The renovations also included turning one outdoor space into a dog run. While preserving historic features like concrete floors, wood ceilings, and exposed brick walls, the makeover aims to offer modern comforts for residents. STORY 5: Georgia again collecting gasoline tax The temporary suspension of Georgia's gasoline tax, initiated by Gov. Brian Kemp in September, has expired. The state Department of Revenue will now resume collecting the 29 cents per gallon tax from motorists. The decision not to extend the suspension comes as fuel prices have dropped significantly, with Georgia currently having the third-lowest average price at $2.79 per gallon, according to AAA. Despite a substantial budget surplus, the state has opted to reinstate the gas tax due to the notable decrease in fuel prices.

Not-for-profit credit unions have long billed themselves as community-based alternatives to big commercial banks. But, many California credit unions charged customers millions in overdraft fees last year. Plus, San Diego scientists from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography will be at the United Nations Climate Conference in Dubai Thursday. Finally, a crew has docked their small, double canoe – the Hōkūle'a – in San Diego. The boat, modeled after ancient Polynesian vessels, has sailed around the world. It made its last stop in San Diego before returning to those still recovering from the fires in Maui.

This year there will be over 100 credit union mergers with other credit unions.But there also will be mergers of credit unions with community banks and now is the time to start learning about what's involved and what the payoffs are.One big reason: probably half of the nation's community banks are available to buy. Another reason: for many reasons, many credit unions are hanging back, reluctant to take this plunge.Part of the reason for hesitation is simple lack of information and on the show today is Michael Bell, Co-Chair of the Financial Institutions Practice Group at the law firm Honigman, the man who did the first credit union - bank merger in 2011 and who estimates that he has been involved in probably 90% of all credit union - bank mergers.Bell knows what works, he knows why many of these deals never reach the finish line, and he also knows the payoffs for the institutions that in fact do close a deal.The important fact about credit union - bank mergers: ultimately they are about money. That's not so for many credit union - credit union mergers.More credit unions with an eye on staying competitive will be eyeing doing deals with banks, predicts Bell.This is a provocative show.Listen up.For more info on mergers, listen to our trio of podcasts with Peter Duffy - #274, a quick news flash in 2022, and episode 119.  Like what you are hearing?

The judge ruled that the existing maps, drawn by the Republican majority in 2021, overlooked significant population growth among minorities since 2010. Democrats are likely to gain ground, with the mandate to add one Black majority congressional district, two Georgia Senate districts, and five state House seats. Although Republicans lost seats in the 2022 elections, they retained solid majorities in both chambers, making immediate Democratic control unlikely. The special session for redistricting is expected to be brief. STORY 5: Cherokee County Juvenile Court Receives Over $740,000 in Grant Funding Cherokee County Juvenile Court has been awarded $741,504 in federal grants to establish a Family Treatment Court and enhance the Juvenile Drug Treatment Court. A $363,847 three-year grant from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention will help establish the Family Treatment Court, focusing on families facing dependency allegations due to parental substance abuse. The court aims to provide evidence-based substance abuse treatment, parenting services, and expedited support for families. Additionally, a $377,657 two-year grant will enhance services for youth aged 14 to 17 with nonviolent drug charges through the Juvenile Drug Treatment Court program, focusing on reducing recidivism.     Commercial:  DAYCO – ELON – INGLES 8     STORY 6: INGLES - LEAH And now here is Bruce Jenkins Conversation with Leah McGrath from Ingle Markets on cross contact and contamination.

Families of the victims attended the event, receiving white roses and having candles lit in their loved ones' honor. The vigil, attended by law enforcement and support organizations, aimed to provide solace and community for those affected by homicides. The guest speaker, Amanda Planchard, shared her experience as the older sister of Charles "Chet" Planchard, who was murdered in 1992. The event facilitated connections and remembrance, offering support to families dealing with tragedy.   STORY 5: Kennesaw State Enrollment Surpasses 45,000 For the fifth consecutive year, Kennesaw State University's enrollment has increased, reaching 45,152 students for fall 2023. The university has witnessed continuous growth since fall 2019 when it had 37,807 students. Of the current enrollment, 5,763 students reside on KSU's Kennesaw and Marietta campuses. Kennesaw State, the third-largest university in Georgia, has experienced only one enrollment decline since fall 2014. The recent increase represents a 39% growth since 2014, with 40,395 undergraduates and 4,333 graduate students. The university attributes its appeal to diverse programs and expanded opportunities for research and experiential learning.   We'll be back in a moment  Break: DAYCO - DRAKE – INGLES 3   STORY 6: Nonprofits Highlighted With Trees at Town Center Mall Nonprofits in the Kennesaw area have adorned trees at the Town Center at Cobb mall for the second annual Festival of Trees. The event aims to raise awareness for various local nonprofit organizations by providing them with space to showcase their services. Fifteen organizations have decorated trees, each designed by their volunteers. The trees include information about the nonprofits and ways for residents to get involved. Pounce de Leon, a cat rescue organization, is one of the featured nonprofits, utilizing the opportunity to showcase its work and raise funds during the holiday season. The mall plans to make the Festival of Trees an annual tradition.   STORY 7: Black Friday Turnout Down From Years Past The traditional Black Friday shopping experience, characterized by massive crowds and early openings, is evolving. While sizable crowds were observed at Kennesaw's Town Center Mall and Cumberland Mall on the day after Thanksgiving, shoppers noted that the crowds were noticeably smaller than in previous years. Online shopping is often blamed for this shift, but Chris McCoy, senior general manager at Cumberland Mall, pointed out that Black Friday deals now extend beyond the day itself, spanning the entire week or even the entire month of November. The change has contributed to a more spread-out and less intense shopping experience, with crowds estimated at around a quarter of those seen five years ago. The impact of online shopping and extended sale periods is evident in the changing dynamics of in-person Black Friday shopping.       Break: Henssler :60  Signoff-   Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Marietta Daily Journal podcast.

Exploring the FHFA 100 Year Report and its Impact on the Council of Federal Home Loan BanksIn this episode of 'With Flying Colors', Mark Treichel hosts Ryan Donovan, the CEO of the Council of Federal Home Loan Banks. They discuss the recently released FHFA 100 Year Report on federal home loan banks and Ryan's key takeaways from it. They delve into the feedback processes that led to the report, noting that stakeholders predominantly want more from the home loan bank system. The report offers about 50 recommendations which according to Ryan, might take a decade to implement. They address regulatory changes, highlighting the importance of clarity for members and potential changes that may slow down the liquidity process. Ryan emphasizes that the report has not changed anything as they are only recommendations, and he urges member credit unions to engage in the policy-making process to ensure their interests are represented.00:35 Introduction and Guest Introduction00:53 Discussion on the FHFA 100 Year Report01:35 Insights on the Report's Development Process03:34 Implications of the Report's Recommendations04:51 Potential Legislative Changes07:16 Impact on Affordable Housing and Community Development09:30 Rulemaking Recommendations and Concerns17:40 Supervisory Process and its Potential Impact19:52 Closing Remarks and Call to Action22:35 Conclusion and Sign OffReach Ryan at:https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-donovan-4541a2/The Council of FHLB's Page:https://www.linkedin.com/company/council-of-federal-home-loan-banks/Reach Marktreichel at:https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-treichel/www.marktreichel.com

Gas prices have fallen for nine consecutive weeks, reaching below $3 a gallon in 11 states. The downward trend may continue, potentially dropping below last winter's $3.05 per gallon, depending on OPEC's decision on a production cut. Over 65,000 gas stations offer prices at $2.99 or less, contributing to an estimated $1.2 billion savings for Americans during Thanksgiving week. Despite favorable gas prices, 20% of respondents face budget constraints due to inflation in other areas.

Immerse yourself in the Christmas Market, hosting over two hundred craft vendors from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Don't miss the chance to meet Mr. & Mrs. Claus between 11:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Revel in the excitement of college football on the big screen, savor delicious food, and glide across the ice at Rink on the River, open from 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. The pinnacle of the celebration is the Tree Lighting ceremony with Santa at 7:00 p.m. This festive extravaganza is hosted at The Mill on Etowah, promising a day filled with enchantment and joy for all. STORY 3: Traffic During Thanksgiving weekend, the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) will temporarily halt lane closures on major roads and interstates near shopping areas to ease holiday traffic. Effective from Sunday at 10 pm, Nov. 26, this proactive step aims to improve traffic flow. Similar restrictions will apply during Christmas and New Year's holidays. While construction-related closures will pause, caution is advised near work zones, as some long-term closures might persist for safety. Incident-related lane closures could occur at any time. Drivers should stay updated via 511ga.org, follow road signs, and be cautious around work zones. Heavy traffic is expected today from 2 to 7 p.m., so drivers are urged to stay alert, buckle up, plan ahead, and obey Move-Over laws for emergency vehicles' safety.

She played a pioneering role in destigmatizing mental illness, pushing for legislative reform, and co-founding the immunization program Every Child By Two. Alongside her husband, former President Jimmy Carter, they continued their commitment to public service through the Carter Center, focusing on global projects. Rosalynn Carter was recognized as one of the most activist first ladies, contributing significantly to various causes during and after her time in the White House. STORY 2: Warnock looking to extend insulin cost cap to all diabetes patients U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock and Sen. John Kennedy are collaborating on federal legislation to extend the cap on insulin costs to the general population. Initially, Warnock played a key role in introducing a provision limiting insulin costs to $35 per month for Medicare enrollees in the Inflation Reduction Act passed last year. The senators' study revealed that over a quarter of U.S. counties, including 105 in Georgia, are "Insulin Deserts" with high uninsured rates and diabetes prevalence. The report emphasizes the need for legislation to make insulin affordable for both privately insured and uninsured Americans due to its high costs compared to other countries. STORY 3: Cherokee Included in Drought-Impacted Disaster Areas U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has declared 11 additional Georgia counties in North Georgia as natural disaster areas due to prolonged drought conditions. This follows a previous natural disaster declaration covering four counties in Northwest Georgia. The newly added counties, including Bartow, Cherokee, Dawson, Fannin, Floyd, Gilmer, Gordon, Lumpkin, Murray, Pickens, and Whitfield, have experienced eight or more weeks of severe, extreme, or exceptional drought. The declaration enables the Farm Service Agency to provide essential emergency credit to affected farmers for addressing drought-related challenges, such as replacing equipment or livestock, reorganizing farming operations, or refinancing loans.

Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park, with its ancient earthen mounds created by Native American peoples, tops the list. The site's potential as Georgia's first national park and the first in the U.S. co-managed by the Muscogee (Creek) Nation adds to its appeal.

The incident occurred during a traffic stop related to an ongoing drug investigation. Luna-Lopez, armed and a subject of the probe, fled the stop, prompting an officer to use her patrol car to force his vehicle off the road. Subsequently, officers approached Luna-Lopez's truck and shot into it, causing his death. He was found with a handgun. The Cobb County Medical Examiner's Office is conducting an autopsy, and the GBI's investigation will be reviewed by the Cobb District Attorney's Office upon completion.   STORY 2: 'It's Major League': The Extension Opens New $7 Million Facility The Tyler A. Driver Center, a new $7 million facility, has been officially opened by The Extension Rehabilitation Center in Marietta. The center, located on Church Street Extension near Kennestone Hospital, accommodates 52 men and replaces a smaller building on the same site. The facility, providing long-term residential treatment for homeless and addicted individuals, increases capacity by 70%. With dedicated therapy rooms and offices for counselors, it offers improved amenities.

Cobb County District Attorney Flynn Broady Jr. emphasized the program's role in rehabilitating individuals with substance abuse problems involved in the criminal justice system.

This will be the 95th Midsummer Classic, the first at Truist Park, and the third in Atlanta. The decision follows the controversy surrounding the relocation of the 2021 All-Star Game from Truist Park to Coors Field in Colorado due to Georgia's voting law, Senate Bill 202. The move resulted in a political dispute between Democrats and Republicans. The 2025 All-Star Game at Truist Park is seen as a positive development for the Braves and the community, with expectations of creating memorable experiences and economic benefits.   STORY 5: Marietta Dentist Provides Free Treatment for Rehab Residents Residents of The Extension Rehabilitation Center's recovery program in Marietta received free dental cleanings, boosting their confidence and overall health. Envision Dental Marietta, led by dentist Priyanka Seekand, provided dental hygiene cleanings for 18 participants, addressing a significant need for various dental treatments. Seekand expressed passion for holistic patient care and viewed the event as a starting point to enhance residents' health. The cleanings not only contribute to improved health but also boost residents' self-esteem. Seekand aims to make this initiative an annual event for The Extension, emphasizing the positive impact on the community and the organization.

The funding will cover expenses like cleaning supplies, security, staff, food, and transportation for families when the temperature is 35 degrees or lower. Commissioner Keli Gambrill opposed the agreement, expressing concerns about guaranteeing funding in advance and the perceived singling out of MUST Ministries. The county aims to serve a broader population beyond those with limited transportation options provided by MUST Ministries. Gambrill drew parallels to the equitable distribution of COVID relief funds under the American Rescue Plan Act.   STORY 7: Kennesaw State School of Art and Design Students to Offer Inaugural Holiday Artist Market Students from Kennesaw State University's School of Art and Design are hosting the inaugural Holiday Artist Market on December 1 from 3 to 6 p.m. at the Visual Arts Building on the Kennesaw campus.

MDJ Script/ Top Stories for Nov 17th      Publish Date:  Nov 16th       Commercial: Henssler :15   From the Henssler Financial Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Friday, November 17th and Happy Birthday to Tom Seaver  ***TOM SEAVER – NO HITTER*** I'm Dan Radcliffe and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Credit Union of Georgia.  Cobb Sheriff Uses Drone to Nab Suspect Marietta School Board to Issue Final Decision on "Flamer" 21st Annual MDJ Gobble Jog Fights Poverty This Thanksgiving       All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!    BREAK: CU of GA    STORY 1: Cobb Sheriff Uses Drone to Nab Suspect Cobb County Sheriff Craig Owens praised the use of a drone unit in the arrest of 28-year-old Antonio Carter for violating probation. Deputies, serving a warrant at a Marietta motel, encountered Carter who fought with them, then fled into nearby woods. The drone unit, along with deputies and K9 units, tracked Carter to a neighboring apartment complex where he was found hiding in a laundry room. Carter was arrested without incident, showcasing the effective use of technology in law enforcement. Owens commended the diligence of the teams involved. Carter, facing probation violation charges, was previously arrested in April for multiple offenses.   STORY 2: Marietta School Board to Issue Final Decision on "Flamer" The Marietta Board of Education is set to make a final decision on the fate of the book "Flamer" by Mike Curato at a special meeting. The book was removed from Marietta High School's library due to Superintendent Grant Rivera's judgment of "highly inappropriate, sexually explicit content." Parent Kayla Sargent filed an appeal to reinstate the book, arguing against book banning and claiming the removal is linked to the main character, Aiden, being gay. Supporters of the removal thanked Rivera during public comments. The board's decision on Thursday is expected to be final, but Sargent indicated the community might continue addressing the issue through elections. STORY 3: 21st Annual MDJ Gobble Jog Fights Poverty This Thanksgiving The 21st annual Gobble Jog, sponsored by the Marietta Daily Journal, will take place on Thanksgiving at Marietta Square to support MUST Ministries in fighting poverty. The event, featuring 10K, 5K, one-mile, and "tot trot" courses, is expected to draw 10,000 runners, aiming to raise over $500,000 for food donations, shelter, job creation, and other resources for the impoverished in Cobb and nearby counties. Dr. Dwight "Ike" Reighard, CEO of MUST Ministries, emphasizes the impact of the race, stating that participants are not just running for their health but making a meaningful difference in the community. Runners can register online or in person on race day, and "phantom runners" are encouraged to support MUST from a distance.     We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

Broady, facing a reduction in Victims of Crime Act grant funding, sought county support. Gambrill questioned why other departments with staffing needs weren't considered and argued using insurance premium taxes was against board policy. Commissioner Jerica Richardson suggested strategic planning for county program funding. Despite acknowledging equity concerns, Commissioner Monique Sheffield emphasized the responsibility to protect Cobb residents. Chairwoman Lisa Cupid acknowledged Gambrill's points but stressed the importance of funding victim support services as mandated by state law. Gambrill criticized the decision, alleging campaign-related motivations.   STORY 5: Marietta School Board Extends Superintendent's Contract Superintendent Grant Rivera's contract with Marietta City Schools has been extended through December 31, 2026, following a 6-0 vote by the Board of Education. The contract includes a 5.5% pay increase, raising Rivera's base salary to approximately $247,200, with a total pay package, including benefits, reaching about $392,200. This marks an increase from his previous base salary of about $234,400, with an additional $10,000 annual bonus. Rivera has been serving as superintendent since January 2017, and the board expresses enthusiasm about his continued leadership in the district. Georgia state law limits superintendent contracts to three years, and the board has been annually extending Rivera's contract to meet this requirement.

Although not obligated to have a budget currently, city officials aim for transparency. The plan outlines revenue streams, with motor vehicle taxes expected to bring in $2.25 million, insurance premium taxes $500,000, franchise fees $400,000, and business and occupation taxes $350,000. Total anticipated revenue is $3.93 million, primarily from taxes. Major expenditures include salaries, code enforcement, and legal representation, with $112,500 budgeted for mayor and council salaries, $431,500 for code enforcement, and other allocations. Residents expressed support for the plan, acknowledging its transparency. A business license fee ordinance was discussed but not officially acted upon. The city aims to pass the transitional spending plan on November 30. STORY 7: Kennesaw State Bailey School of Music to Present Holiday Concert Kennesaw State University's Bailey School of Music will present its 2023 Holiday Concert on December 2 at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. The annual tradition includes over 200 KSU students and faculty performing holiday classics, classical pieces, and music from popular holiday movies.

In this month's episode, Zach and Vin are joined by Chris Nelson, Founder and President of Nelson Capital Advisors (and formerly of Bangor Savings Bank). Chris talks about his early days, which took him from the broadcasting booth to the Trust Department and ultimately into the CIO's chair. Along the way, Chris shares some of his most valuable lessons regarding the importance of managing liquidity, the efficacy of the ALCO exercise, the pitfalls of “tunnel vision,” and what he calls “rear view mirror management.”Chris also explains his current role as both advisor and educator for financial institutions. He reminds us that the bond market is not a “charitable organization” and that all investment decisions must be contemplated within the context of four critical questions. For more insights and ideas, visit DCG at DarlingConsulting.com or follow us on LinkedIn.
