Credit Union of America promotes Drew Droegemeier
WICHITA, KS (April 17, 2024) — CREDIT UNION OF AMERICA (CUA) is pleased to announce Drew Droegemeier as Chief Loan Officer. Over his impressive lending career, he has demonstrated exceptional dedication and leadership.
Starting as a part-time teller at Bank of America before moving to sales at Scholfield Honda in 2006, his career has been one of continued growth. For 16 years, he worked indirectly with banks and credit unions as he climbed Scholfields’s corporate ladder to Finance Director.
In 2022, he took a role at CUA as the Director of Indirect Lending, where he served as a loan officer and relationship manager with auto dealers. In this role, he assisted in loan growth and contributed to a successful auto lending campaign, yielding over $100M in loans over three months. In his most recent role as Director of Digital Operations, he oversaw online lending operations and digital account opening, playing a pivotal role in establishing and growing the Digital Operations Center.
His academic and volunteer achievements are equally impressive, holding a Finance Degree from Wichita State University with a minor in Accounting and Management. He also volunteers with the Pando Initiative and serves as the treasurer of the West Side Eagles athletic organization. He also holds membership with the Bishop Carroll Parents Organization, multiple ministries at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Church, and the Knights of Columbus.
His expertise, dedication, and strong work ethic make him a valuable addition to CUA’s Executive Team. We extend our warmest congratulations as Drew takes on this new role.
