IR Best Practices Panel Features Casteel Schoenborn Banking Industry Expertise

WILLIAMSVILLE, N.Y., Aug. 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Casteel Schoenborn will participate in Thursday's "Bank and Insurance Investor Relations Best Practices" panel discussion hosted by SNL Financial, a leading provider of financial information on more than 3,300 public companies and 50,000 private companies in the business sectors critical to the global economy: Banking, Financial Services, Insurance, Real Estate, Energy and Media & Communications.

Casteel Schoenborn's IR and corporate communications professionals have advised more than 20 community and regional financial institutions, including client banks and thrifts with assets ranging from under $1 billion to more than $30 billion.  Jeffrey A. Schoenborn, a principal of the firm, will serve as a presenter for today's webinar on "Building an Effective Earnings Package," along with Heather J. Wietzel, principal of InsuranceIR, and Ronald H. Janis, partner with the law firm of Day Pitney LLP.   

"Going beyond compliance in the quarterly reporting process, to communicate a company's performance and prospects, is essential to favorably differentiating a financial institution from the hundreds of other U.S. bank and thrift stocks that are competing for investors' attention and capital," said Schoenborn.  "Adopting best practices not only enables a bank to provide essential context around its quarterly financial results, but it showcases the quality of a management team and its strategy for achieving success and creating long-term shareholder value."

The 1:30 p.m. ET webinar is available to SNL Financial subscribers and non-subscribers alike, who can participate live this afternoon or listen to a replay at www.snlcenter.com/figir.
