Bob Crothers
COO/CLO
Bob Crothers is the Chief Lending Officer and Chief Operating Officer for the Citizen Potawatomi Community Development Corporation. He has been a member of the CPCDC family for almost eight years, joining the team in 2008, after a career in banking and real estate development.
Since joining CPCDC, Bob has been a major contributor to the loan/product development effort, and played a key role in helping the organization become the first Native-owned CDFI to be included in the U.S. Treasury’s CDFI Bond Guarantee Program. Acceptance into that program will help to provide the organization with an additional $16 million in available loan resources.
With respect to loans, Crothers has been instrumental in the growth of the loan portfolio. He and the loan staff have produced in excess of $30 million in new loans, over the past seven years. Along with the great leadership provided by its board of directors and by CPCDC’s senior management staff, Crothers has played a pivotal role in helping the organization grow – from $12 million to more than $40 million since 2008. Current affiliations include a seat on the board of American Capital Investor’s Corp., Four Points Community Development Corp. board, Native American Advisory Board of Clearinghouse CDFI, and as a member of the Oklahoma Banker’s Association.
