The COVID-19 pandemic brings significant change to the community banking industry and has impacted various businesses acutely during this cycle. In addition to addressing the typical regulatory issues that community banks face, now more than ever community banks and their boards must also be proactive in tackling new, pandemic-related issues, including consumer compliance change management, risk management, and managing commercial real estate (CRE) concentrations and commercial and industrial (C&I) lending exposures.
