Spencer Fane attorney Stephen Pahl is a panelist for the upcoming California Community Bank Network (CCBN)’s 2025 Directors Roundtable, a June 9-10 event in San Diego.
Held at the picturesque Lodge at Torrey Pines, this premier forum will examine what effective board leadership for community banks looks like amid the challenges of today’s environment. The program will focus on critical topics, trends, and opportunities facing boards, such as the expectation of a more favorable regulatory environment, pent-up deal demand, an expected increase in M&A and capital markets activity, the continued need for scale to increase efficiency and stay ahead of the technology, and more.
Stephen’s June 10 session, The Chairman’s Panel, will examine the evolving role of a community bank director. In his role as Chairman of the West Coast Community Bank Board of Directors, he will join other bank chairmen to share insights on board leadership and the important role that directors play in achieving success.

A business owner with personal experience managing apartment buildings, banks, restaurants, and hotels, he truly understands and shares the entrepreneurial spirit of his clients.
