   RFP Process: Practitioner and Banker Viewpoints

  In this session we will be talking about both sides of a Commercial Banking RFP and exchange viewpoints from both the practitioner (Darci at OPPD) and banker (Greer at US Bank).  Why it was necessary, how long it took, lessons learned, and things to consider before taking on the process.
