April 18th 2018 by Dee Loflin
Sikeston, Missouri - Farm Credit Southeast Missouri President & CEO Bob Smith is very pleased to congratulate Chad Crow, Senior Vice President/Senior Relationship Officer, on reaching 15 years of service with Farm Credit.
Crow began his Farm Credit career in 2003 as a Loan Officer at the Sikeston branch office before being promoted to Vice President/Branch Manager in 2006. During his 9 years as Branch Manager, Crow helped grow the branch office significantly while maintaining excellent credit quality. In 2016, he became a member of the Senior Leadership Team and tackled a whole new role as Chief Operations Officer. Upon transitioning from SVP/COO to SVP/Senior Relationship Officer in early 2017, Crow’s primary responsibility became directly assisting the Sikeston, Jackson, Mississippi County and Dexter branch offices in their credit, operations, and business development on a daily basis.
Smith stated, “Since coming to Farm Credit in 2003, Chad has made significant contributions to the association. The SVP/Senior Relationship Officer is the perfect role for Chad as I know he relishes the ongoing opportunities to interact with employees, customers, prospects, and centers of influence. Farm Credit is very fortunate to have Chad as a member of the team. He is one of the reasons that Farm Credit can be considered the premier agricultural lender in Southeast Missouri.”
Headquartered in Sikeston, Missouri, Farm Credit Southeast Missouri is a $650 million agricultural lending cooperative serving Bollinger, Butler, Carter, Cape Girardeau, Dunklin, Mississippi, New Madrid, Pemiscot, Ripley, Scott, Stoddard, and Wayne Counties in Southeast Missouri.

Former Dexter resident re-certified as a Professional Community and Economic Developer (PCED)
Brian Thompson, president and chief executive officer of Lebanon Regional Economic Development, Inc. (Lebanon-REDI), was recently re-certified as a Professional Community and Economic Developer (PCED) by the Community Development Council (CDC).
Thompson is a former Dexter resident, graduating from Dexter High School in 1999 prior to successful completion of his associate degree from Three Rivers Community College in Poplar Bluff and a bachelor of science from Arkansas State University in Jonesboro, Ark. in 2001.
Founded in 1995, the CDC is a nonprofit organization whose purpose is to establish professional standards through certification and training that will be recognized as valuable to both the community development practitioner and those who employ their services.
To earn PCED designation, community and economic development professionals must first complete three years of the Community Development Institute (CDI) at one of six regional locations. Upon finishing CDI, an economic and community development professional may take the PCED test.
Exam content is based on the Community Development Handbook which provides comprehensive, current, and applicable information for community development practitioners. Testing includes questions to measure both the understanding of content and the ability to apply the appropriate methods and tools to specific community situations.
Thompson completed his CDI years from 2009-11 at the University of Central Arkansas in Conway, Ark., before successfully taking the PCED certification test in August 2011. He earned re-certification in 2015 and again earlier this month.
Re-certification may be achieved through professional education, contributions to the profession, service, and participation in community development meetings and programs.
