Bremer Bank Announces Staff Changes at Marshall Location

Marshall, Minn.
- Bremer Bank is pleased to announce two personnel changes at our Marshall location: Chad Drake has assumed the role of Marshall market manager and Cindy Verschaetse is now Southwest Minnesota region retail manager.
 
Drake has been with Bremer for nearly two decades in a variety of positions, including business banker and ag banker. He was most recently business banking sales manager for the Southwest Minnesota region. Drake has a bachelor's degree in ag business from South Dakota State University (SDSU) and is a licensed crop insurance producer. He is also active with Junior Achievement of Lyon County and a member of the Southwest Minnesota State University (SMSU) Ag Advisory Committee.
 
Verschaetse joined Bremer in 1992 as a bookkeeper and has had numerous roles since, including teller supervisor, personal banker, community business banker and market manager. An alum of SMSU, Verschaetse received the distinct honor of being nominated for Outstanding Woman of Southwest Minnesota in 2015. Her involvement in the community extends across many organizations, such as the SMSU Foundation as well as the Marshall Municipal Utility Commission.
 
"These changes reflect our commitment to serving the needs of our clients in the Marshall community," said Shane Johnson, Bremer's Southwest Minnesota region president. "Both Chad and Cindy consistently go above and beyond to help our clients, but are also dedicated to giving back to the community where they live and work. We are fortunate to have them on our team."
