SPEAKERS
Our first presenter is Banking Commissioner Jorge Perez, who will provide our attendees with a “Connecticut
Update”. Commissioner Perez was newly appointed Commissioner of the Connecticut Department of Banking in
March 2015. He began his career with Sovereign Bank and most recently at Liberty Bank in Middletown, CT. As
Banking Commissioner, he has jurisdiction over Connecticut’s laws pertaining to commercial banks, savings
banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions, consumer credit, broker-dealers, investment advisers,
securities, tender offers and business opportunities. He oversees the supervision of 38 state-chartered banks
and thrifts and 30 state-chartered credit unions and heads a department with over 100 employees.
Next, Richard J. Parsons, Banking Industry Analyst and Author of Broke: America’s Banking System. Using his
deep industry experience and unique approach to bank research, Parsons explains why the U.S. banking system
has suffered nearly 3,500 bank failures over the past three decades. As a banker with over 30 years of
experience, he offers common sense solutions to fix deep-rooted problems that have plagued the industry for
generations. As a national speaker Parsons talks about the future of banking. He addresses the macro forces
shaping the future of commercial banking. In his presentations Parsons examines the critical factors that
determine bank profitability and ultimately the future of individual banks and the industry. Prior to writing and
speaking about the banking industry, Parsons spent more than 31 years at Bank of America where he was an
executive vice president and member of the Management Operating Committee.
Finally, joining us is Kenneth W. Gronbach is president of KGC Direct, LLC and author of the current best-selling
book "The Age Curve: How To Profit from the Coming Demographic Storm". Ken is an internationally respected
demographer who has been able to forecast societal, commercial, economic, cultural and political phenomena
with uncanny accuracy. Ken’s unusual blend of marketing savvy and common sense demography, based on
twenty years of proprietary demographic study, set him apart. Ken keynotes all over the United States and does
customized demographic research. You will find that Ken’s steadfast position, that the United States is the best
Nation on earth and his firm belief that the country’s best days are ahead, season his spirited presentations with
an unmistakable pro-American enthusiasm.
