Banking & Mortgage Industries

• What is the current state of the banking environment?
• How did we get into this mess?
• And, most importantly, how do we get out of it?

To help sift through the confusion and find the answers, Rick Gardner will share his insights about today's economy from a banking perspective. And, he will discuss how the economic fall has directly impacted advertising & marketing in the banking & mortgage industries.
