cbsi Talking Business: December 31, 2021 Edition

Dear cbsi Friends:

Happy New Year, hope all staying safe and healthy during this latest covid challenge.

We appreciate everyone who has participated in our #cbsiTalkingBusiness interview series which has now reached 665 episodes. So good to reconnect at the Army - Navy Game with Vice Admiral (ret) John Bird of USAA who was the first guest in the series.

It is an honor to be being able to work with outstanding trade organizations such as the Direct Marketing Club of New York, the Hudson Valley DMA, the New England DMA, the Professional Association for Customer Engagement, the Independent Bankers Association of NY State, business publications such as the American Banker and professors at business schools such as Fordham, Iona, Manhattan, NYU, Pace and SUNY New Paltz.

A special moment in 2021 was being with my friend and mentor from Chase Bank days, Mario Rosellini when he was honored for his career and charitable work at the Italian Tribune banquet in October.

Especially like to thank my colleagues at cbsiservices.com who shared their expertise during the year and took care of our clients and customers 24/7 during unpredictable times.

Happy New Year to you all!

Respectfully,

Ken
