Summary
I like playing the game of basketball, observes Roger K. Cromer, president and chief executive officer of Crossroads Bank, Wabash. Basketball's not a game that flows evenly all the time. Things happen, and you've got to react quickly. He continues: If the flow of the game changes rapidly - much like the environment in banking the last few years - you have to be able to adjust and move. You have to be willing to jump in and go. That athletic drive, stamina and splitsecond flexibility have served Cromer well. He has flourished in his leadership role with Crossroads Bank and as president and CEO of FFW Corp., the bank's holding company. Additionally Cromer has been elected 2009 chairman of the Indiana Bankers Association. Hoosier Banker recently interviewed the new leader of the IBA. He answers such questions as: 1. How did your career begin? 2. What happened after college? 3. What led you to Crossroads Bank?
