Industry Leadership Forums


Real Business Intelligence

Bob Mittel has teamed with Stathis Partners to produce the Industry Leadership Forums; a series of peer group meetings for executives of bank and credit union investment services programs who strive to be leaders in the industry.

We strive to create an environment where you and your colleagues gain valuable business intelligence via peer group knowledge exchange and aggregated research. The meetings are moderated with the intent to tap into valuable participant experiences which become the basis for dynamic discussions. Our hope is that this knowledge exchange provides ideas that increase the competitiveness and success of you and your organization.

We also strive to provide a valuable networking experience where participants and sponsors meet like-minded executives that become beneficial industry connections.

In short, our desire is to be an industry catalyst in order to help you with your business development goals, and our channel become more competitive in the broader industry.


A primary objective of the Industry Leadership Forums is to increase the competitiveness of our channel, and create an ongoing program for executives who strive to be leaders in our industry.
