Congratulations upon your completion of the Associate Chartered Banker Diploma in the last
academic year. The Council of the Institute has great pleasure in inviting you to attend one of our
2014 Graduation Ceremonies to collect your qualification and membership certificates.
Graduation is one of the most historic and prestigious occasions in our annual events calendar,
providing occasion to formally recognize the achievements of our new Chartered Bankers, Associate
Chartered Bankers, Diploma & Certificate Awardees, Prizewinners, Fellows and Honorary Fellows.
Our main 2014 ceremony will take place on the morning of Saturday 15th November in the grand
surroundings of the Bute Hall at the University of Glasgow (pictured above).
