“Banks on the cutting edge are turning to (Roberta) Wagner’s company to assess their performance and help them learn more about their roles and responsibilities.”

                                                                          The Independent Banker

“If you are an outside bank director and feel lost or frightened, you might want to touch base with Roberta Wagner, a top regulator for 15 years who has been helping boards to get their acts together since 1989 when she founded The Director Resource Group (with her partner, Bruce Bugbee) . . .”

                                                                         The American Banker

“Bank and S & L directors have come under fire as their institutions have struggled. So two former regulators are giving boards a hand. Roberta Wagner and Bruce Bugbee, former regulators who have managed financial institutions, formed The Director Resource Group to help managements and directors assess their performance.”

                                                                          USA Today

 

“In my opinion, Bugbee Wagner saved our bank. That sounds dramatic, but they were instrumental in getting the board to focus on critical areas of risk and come together to solve the problems.”

                                                                       Pacific Northwest

“The board and management study required by the regulators and conducted by Bugbee Wagner delivered full value. I really didn’t expect it to – we just it did because we had to.”

                                                                       The CEO of a community bank in the
                                                                       Pacific Northwest

“Roberta Wagner can deliver news that no one wants to hear in a way that makes you listen. Her services have been invaluable to our bank.”

                                                                      Pacific Northwest

“Bugbee Wagner identified a bottleneck in our work flow that we weren’t aware of. It was tremendously helpful to get that outside perspective on an issue.”
