April 25th 2018 by Dee Loflin
The week of April 22nd - April 28th is known as Administrative Professionals Week and Wednesday, April 25, 2018 is National Administrative Professionals' Day, aka Secretaries Day or Admin Day.
It is observed on the Wednesday of the last full week of April each year in the United States.
It is a day to recognize the work of secretaries, administrative assistants, receptionists and other administrative support professionals
Farm Credit would like to honor their employees, Janet Jordan and Denise Mayberry.
Janet will be celebrating her 20th anniversary with Farm Credit later this year and Denise will be celebrating her 3rd anniversary later this year also.
Farm Credit would like to recognize and thank Janet and Denise for providing high quality customer service to all of our current and future customers.
Their specific skills are vital to our mission and accomplishing the tasks at hand. THANK YOU for all you do!
National Administrative Professionals’ Day is an unofficial national holiday. However, this special day coincides with National Secretaries Week. In June 1952, U.S. Secretary of Commerce, Charles Sawyer proclaimed National Secretaries Week. In that same year, June 4 was designated National Secretaries Day.

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.

The Relay For Life movement helps make so much possible:
GROUNDBREAKING CANCER RESEARCH
As the largest private, nonprofit funder of cancer research in the US, we’ve invested more than
$4.6 billion since 1946 to defeat the disease.
COMPREHENSIVE SUPPORT
We provide free rides to chemo, places to stay during treatment, and a 24/7 helpline.
EARLY DETECTION AND PREVENTION
We empower people with information to reduce cancer risk, and get the screenings that are right for them.
PARTNERSHIP
The courage of survivors and caregivers like you inspires us to fight. Join us this year at your local American Cancer Society Relay For Life event as we celebrate you, remember loved ones lost, and rally together for lifesaving change.
Stand with us, as we celebrate you – and so many others!
Together, we’ll take on our biggest rival: cancer.
