findCRA FOCUS 2026 is open to anyone who wants to expand their knowledge of CRA.  Our agenda is designed to provide guidance on managing CRA programs at banks of all sizes and includes sessions related to CRA management, lending performance monitoring, community development activities and more.

Non-bankers are also welcome to attend to gain insights into the CRA requirements for banks and learn about regulatory requirements and best practices.

What is the agenda for this conference?

findCRA FOCUS 2026 is a two-day conference with both general sessions and panel discussions with industry experts and thought leaders.

During the conference, the sessions will focus on practical CRA knowledge, providing tips, strategies and best practices for managing CRA day-to-day and answering real world questions that CRA officers and staff receive from the community, co-workers and examiners.

Each general session will be one hour and will pinpoint a specific area of CRA requirements such as lending performance monitoring, performance context, tracking community development activities and more.  Our panel discussions will feature conversations regarding investments and strategies for CRA success with bankers and other industry participants.  We’ll also offer some optional sessions covering CRA basics for newer CRA staff and diving into community development case studies and findCRA’s software solutions.
