Job Description:

Chief Executive Officer The Community Bankers Association of Kansas (CBA) seeks a dynamic, credible, and mission-driven Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to lead the organization with vision, strategic discipline, and a strong commitment to member value statewide. Reporting to and partnering closely with the Board, the CEO serves as the association's chief strategist, chief advocate, principal relationship-builder, and primary spokesperson. CBA, based in Topeka, KS, is the only state trade association dedicated exclusively to serving the interests of Kansas community banks. Founded in 1978, CBA exists to create value for community banks through advocacy, education, and services for the benefit of their customers and the communities they serve. The association supports member institutions through legislative and regulatory advocacy, education and training, peer networking, compliance resources, leadership development, and endorsed services designed to help member banks remain strong, competitive, and locally focused. The next CEO will guide CBA through a period in which community banks must navigate increasing regulatory complexity, evolving compliance expectations, cybersecurity and fraud risks, technology investment decisions, talent pressures, and a public policy environment that continues to shape the future of local banking. The CEO will ensure that CBA remains highly relevant to Kansas community bankers by delivering effective advocacy, practical education, strong communications, sound financial stewardship, and meaningful opportunities for member engagement and leadership development. This leader must be equally comfortable in the board room, at the state capitol, in meetings with bank presidents and directors, and in partnership with staff, endorsed providers, and national banking allies. The ideal candidate will combine strategic and operational leadership with a sophisticated understanding of community banking, trade association dynamics, and the issues facing Kansas banks today and in the years ahead.
