HCI Responds to Covid-19
The HCI Board of Advisors met recently and agreed that it would be helpful for HCI to make a statement about vaccinations and safe travel, so as to provide some guidance to our bank club directors.  Here is our official statement:

Heritage Clubs International is recommending that all of our bank club members create a sense of safety for all of their travelers regarding the Coronavirus.  By adopting this policy, we expect it will make your travel plans successful by:

• Improving the safety of every member traveler
  
• Building customer confidence to travel immediately
• Reducing the risk to every bank club of infections on tour

• Must be fully (both doses) vaccinated at least 14 days before trip departs OR
• Must have had Covid in the past 12 months  OR
• Must have a negative PCR test 72 hours or less before departure

This is, of course, our recommendations today.  Should matters improve across the country, we would consider welcoming other guests. Until then, this is the same policy HCI will be requiring of our delegates attending the 2022 Annual Peer Group Conference in the Quad Cities February 22-26, 2022.

RALLY CALLS

It isn't too early to make plans to attend the 2022 Peer Group conference. We look forward to being with you in the Quad Cities, February 21-25, 2022. Mark your calendars now so you don't miss out! 

2021 PEER GROUP CONFERENCE WRAP UP

We have just completed our 2021 Peer Group conference which took place via Zoom. Delegates enjoyed spending time in networking and education sessions where they learned about what to expect as they return to travel, steps to take to improve their mental health, how to set up a Zoom account and a Facebook page and much more. 

Even though we couldn't be together in person, we had an amazing week of fun and learning together.

We had many first-time delegates who enjoyed getting to know new colleagues and expanding their network. We also enjoyed games and entertainment provided by our sponsors. Read the full summary here.

HCI's  Certified Bank Club Director (CBCD) program recognizes members for their learning achievements and industry expertise in the industry. We are proud of our CBCD program, the first Professional Certification program for Bank Club Directors in North America.  We encourage our club director members to get certified and be recognized as the most knowledgeable and professional in our industry.

It's easy to sign up. And, once you're certified, you're all done - there are no continuing education requirements.
