WEST JORDAN, UT--(Marketwired - Jul 1, 2014) - Mountain America Credit Union's Chad Waddoups was recently named to the 2014 Top 20 Program Managers list, by Bank Investment Consultant, a leading financial services industry magazine. Waddoups is currently the vice president of Investment and Insurance Services for Mountain America, where its investment program is associated with LPL Financial Institution Services.

A select group of bank and credit union investment program managers, such as Waddoups, were recipients of this prestigious recognition. The list acknowledges the managers of the most productive bank and credit union-based advisors. The ranking is based upon five main factors, including average production per advisor, percentage growth of team assets from the previous year, percentage growth of team production from the previous year, the number of advisors under the manager's direct supervision and the number of licensed branch employees under the supervision of the program manager.

"This is a very deserving award for Chad and the Investment team at Mountain America," says Nathan Anderson, executive vice president/chief operating officer for the credit union. "Being named one of the top program managers in the country is a great endorsement of the outstanding work our Investment team is doing each day as they help our members achieve their financial dreams."

"I'm honored to be recognized as one of the Top 20 Program Managers in the country," says Waddoups. "This honor is one that is shared by our whole team. Without the dedicated work of our Investment team members in our branches, we wouldn't be where we are today."
