DALLAS, TX (July 13, 2017) – For more than two decades, ALM First Financial Advisors, LLC has counseled, educated and assisted financial institution clients in developing new strategies to maximize returns. Now, the respected advisory firm is also inviting non-client banks and credit unions to learn from the best at its annual Financial Forum, a three-day event featuring industry experts and regulators.

It’s geared to financial institution CEOs, CFOs, controllers, treasury staff, and ALCO and board members, as well as non-financial senior managers.

We look forward to talking to clients and non-clients at the Forum, along with participating in strategic discussions.”
