When I was a kid, I remember walking to the local bank branch to open my first savings account.  Our community bank was a kind of hub for much of our small town life.  And I will never forget the big deal they made that day about my new account and the feeling that I had crossed into a new stage as I was growing up.

Many years later, I still work with the kind people in our banking community.  While many of the people I know talk about the huge banks and their impact, just about everyone has a story about how a local community bank or credit union has impacted their life.

Anyway, thanks for inviting us at Cappusocial to join BankInnovation.  We look forward to sharing stories and ideas about the power of social media and banks, coupled with the challenge of regulatory compliance.
