SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT (July 2026)
RMA and BAI have come together as ProSight Financial Association to empower financial services leaders to strengthen and advance our industry. This strategic combination brings together RMA’s expertise in serving commercial banking and its risk management needs and BAI’s knowledge in serving retail banking and its regulatory compliance requirements. It’s a complementary union of two non-profit organizations that have always had their members’ and customers’ best interests in mind.
As BAI and RMA came together, the importance of honoring and building on our 100+ year old histories and trusted reputations is recognized. The new name signifies the enhanced value the combined organization will deliver. ProSight does just that.
- “Pro” - Signifies the proactive, professional way we support the industry.

- Education, research, and leadership opportunities.
- Five general chapter program/meetings each term (Complimentary for chapter affiliates)
- Numerous networking and social events.
- Educational courses, including the Commercial Lending Academy.
Our chapter includes more than 250 bankers and professionals representing over forty financial institutions. As valued members, your engagement is key to our future success, and we warmly welcome your ideas and involvement as we move forward this term.
What’s Changing:
- Our new name, ProSight, reflects the enhanced value we will deliver together: “Pro” signifies our proactive, professional support for the industry, while “Sight” underscores our foresight and the insights we share.
